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: Digital technologies offer dynamic representations, immediate feedback, and autonomous inquiry in mathematics learning. Yet the association between ICT use and mathematical literacy may depend on students' psychological resources and emotions. Drawing on social cognitive theory, this study examined the indirect roles of mathematics self-efficacy and mathematics resilience and the moderating role of mathematics anxiety. Methods: Data were drawn from 34,406 students in PISA 2022 from Japan, Korea, Singapore, Macao, Chinese Taipei, and Hong Kong. Observed-variable path analysis tested independent and serial indirect pathways, while interaction terms and simple slope analyses assessed moderation. Analyses incorporated the final student weight and were estimated across the 10 plausible values for mathematical literacy. Results: ICT use was positively associated with mathematical literacy (β = 0.026, Discussion: ICT use was linked to mathematical literacy mainly through competence beliefs and adaptive psychological resources. Mathematics self-efficacy represented the central pathway, whereas mathematics resilience played a complementary role under difficulty and stress. The asymmetric moderating pattern of mathematics anxiety highlights the need for digital mathematics instruction combining technology use, task design, supportive feedback, and emotional support.
