Entertainment-Education Videos as a Persuasive Tool in the Substance Use Prevention Intervention "keepin' it REAL".
Article in Health communication, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07074860 (Clinical Screening and Peer Interventions to Prevent Substance Use in At-Risk Adolescents), which is not on this map. Cited by 11 papers.
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

Abstract
Based on social cognitive theory and narrative engagement theory, the current study examined hypothesized indirect effects of engagement with keepin' it REAL (kiR) curriculum entertainment-education (E-E) videos on youth alcohol use via youth drug offer refusal efficacy. Students in 7th grade (N = 1,464) at 25 public schools in two Midwestern states were randomly assigned to one of the two versions of the kiR curriculum, the kiR urban version and the kiR rural version. Each version had their own set of five culturally-grounded E-E videos depicting communicative skills to refuse drug offers. Differential effects for engagement components were expected depending on the degree of cultural matching. Pre/post surveys were administered at the beginning and the end of 7th grade. Structural equation modeling analysis resulted in partial support for the research hypotheses. Rural youth receiving the urban curriculum who reported higher interest in the E-E videos were more likely to report having higher refusal efficacy, and in turn, less likely to use alcohol. Rural youth receiving the rural curriculum who identified with the E-E video main characters were more likely to report having higher refusal efficacy, and in turn, less likely to use alcohol. Implications for E-E health promotion are discussed.
