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

Introduction: This mixed-methods field study examined generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) pedagogical readiness among university faculty in five participating universities in China and Kazakhstan, with particular attention to cross-sample differences and the effects of faculty development training. Methods: Baseline survey data were collected from 568 faculty members, including 340 from China and 228 from Kazakhstan. Readiness was assessed across seven dimensions: basic GenAI understanding, prompt design, AI-supported instructional design, AI-supported assessment, critical judgement, educational ethics, and disciplinary transfer. A quasi-experimental subsample of 160 faculty members compared structured GenAI prompt-task training with conventional GenAI-focused faculty development. Prompt logs were additionally coded to identify post-training faculty development needs. Results: At baseline, the Kazakhstani sample reported higher readiness across all seven dimensions, with the largest differences in disciplinary transfer, prompt design, and basic understanding. Measurement-invariance analysis supported cross-sample comparison of observed mean patterns. In hierarchical regression, the Kazakhstan coefficient decreased from Discussion: The findings indicate that GenAI pedagogical readiness is shaped by faculty course tasks, institutional support, resource access, and training design. Structured prompt-task training may therefore provide a useful approach to strengthening course-level faculty readiness for pedagogical uses of GenAI.
