Telling Students to Evaluate Does Not Make It Happen: Task Stage, Offloading Tendency, and Error Detection in AI-Assisted Student Writing.
Article in Behavioral sciences (Basel, Switzerland), 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
Instructors can prescribe which part of a writing task a student may delegate to generative AI, but not how the student works. This four-arm randomised experiment separated them. At Site A, 744 undergraduates were randomised to one of four divisions of labour across four rounds of report writing-AI drafts and the student evaluates and revises; the student drafts and AI evaluates; the student drafts, AI revises, and the student adjudicates each change; no AI-with all AI withdrawn at Week 6 post-test, immediately after the final round (639 completed). A reduced three-arm replication at Site B randomised 126 students (109 completed). Both arrangements in which the student judged AI-produced text outperformed the arrangement in which AI judged student-produced text and the no-AI control (
