Computer self-efficacy and perceived knowledge application in generative AI-supported learning: a cross-sectional parallel mediation analysis.
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
Background: This study examined whether human-AI synergy (HAS) and autonomous learning technology use (ALT) mediated the association between computer self-efficacy (CSE) and perceived knowledge application ability (KAA). Methods: A cross-sectional survey of 801 undergraduates from five higher education institutions in Shandong Province, China, was analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis, structural equation modeling, and bootstrapping. Results: CSE was positively associated with HAS and ALT. ALT showed a positive indirect association with perceived KAA, whereas HAS showed a negative conditional indirect association. The direct CSE-KAA association was not significant after including the mediators. Conclusion: CSE was associated with perceived knowledge application through two opposite indirect pathways. The negative HAS coefficient should be interpreted cautiously because HAS measured collaboration rather than cognitive offloading, and KAA was self-reported.
