1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) tools are increasingly used to provide formative feedback in music education, yet the dynamic mechanisms linking AI-supported feedback to student engagement remain insufficiently understood. Drawing on feedback literacy theory and self-regulated learning, this study examined the reciprocal within-person relationships among engagement with AI-generated formative feedback, feedback literacy, and music-learning engagement across one semester. Three-wave panel data were collected from 420 university music-education students and analyzed using a random-intercept cross-lagged panel model to distinguish within-person fluctuations from stable between-person differences. A reliability-corrected model was also estimated to account for measurement error in the composite indicators. The results showed that increases in engagement with AI formative feedback predicted subsequent improvements in feedback literacy, which, in turn, predicted higher levels of music-learning engagement. Feedback literacy therefore emerged as a key mechanism through which AI-supported formative feedback contributed to students' learning engagement. Most reverse effects were not supported, although music-learning engagement predicted later engagement with AI feedback after measurement error was corrected. At the between-person level, epistemic trust in AI feedback accounted for a substantial proportion of the associations among the focal constructs. Overall, the findings indicate a predominantly forward but partially reciprocal dynamic and highlight the importance of feedback literacy, epistemic trust, and measurement-error correction in research on AI-supported music assessment.
