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

The integration of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) into education raises important questions about how learners' GenAI-related competencies are associated with their self-regulatory behaviors in GenAI-supported learning. Drawing on a serial mediation framework, this study examined the roles of learning agency and challenge emotions in the association between GenAI literacy and GenAI-assisted self-regulated learning behaviors among special education undergraduates. A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 434 special education undergraduates in China. Participants completed measures of GenAI literacy, learning agency, challenge emotions, and GenAI-assisted self-regulated learning behaviors. The results showed that GenAI literacy was positively associated with GenAI-assisted self-regulated learning behaviors. Significant indirect effects were observed through learning agency and challenge emotions separately, as well as through their hypothesized serial ordering. Overall, these findings suggest that both agentic and affective processes are relevant to the association between GenAI literacy and GenAI-assisted self-regulated learning behaviors and may also be interconnected.
