The impact of social presence on perceived learning performance in online education.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Building on digital information technology, online education in Chinese universities has developed rapidly. While it offers flexibility, it often reduces student engagement and increases learning burnout. How to fully leverage the advantages of online education while mitigating its negative effects has become a key concern in online learning research. The current study investigates how social presence influences undergraduates' perceived learning performance in online teaching, focusing on the mediating role of learning burnout and the moderating effects of individualism and intrinsic learning motivation. A survey was conducted with 611 university students in China, and data were analyzed using structural equation modeling and PROCESS regression. Results showed that: (1) social presence in online courses significantly enhances perceived learning performance; (2) learning burnout mediates this relationship; (3) individualism and intrinsic learning motivation moderate this effect. Specifically, the indirect effect of social presence on perceived learning performance through reduced learning burnout is stronger among students with lower individualism or higher intrinsic motivation. These findings offer practical implications for improving teaching effectiveness, enhancing learning outcomes, and alleviating learning burnout in online education.
