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

This research advances understanding of the determinants of student satisfaction in digital higher education, offering valuable insights for sustainable digital transformation initiatives globally. The study sampled 212 actively engaged higher education students from the Hail region of Saudi Arabia, with a gender distribution of 55.2% males and 44.8% females, utilizing a culturally adapted online questionnaire comprising validated scales on digital learning, acceptance, readiness, orchestration, well-being, and satisfaction, measured on a five-point Likert scale. Using TAM, UTAUT, Digital Readiness Theory, and well-being theory, this quantitative study (PLS-SEM) find that digital learning readiness and institutional orchestration directly improve students' well-being, which in turn drives students learning satisfaction in Saudi higher educations institutions. These findings extend digital learning theory by demonstrating that well-being operates as a full mediator for acceptance, readiness, and orchestration, refining theoretical predictions about boundary condition of TAM and UTAUT in collective educational context. The findings suggest that institutions should strengthen digital strategies by improving infrastructure, developing staff digital competencies, and expanding student mental-health support.
