A Systematic Review of Evidence-Based High School Melanoma Prevention Curricula.
Synthesis in Journal of cancer education : the official journal of the American Association for Cancer Education, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
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
Incorporation of melanoma prevention behaviors into daily lifestyles is difficult. Data suggest that high school educational programs on skin cancer prevention can be successful and should incorporate evidence-based teaching and learning strategies to achieve greatest impact. The goal of this systematic review is to describe evidence-based educational practices for a high-school melanoma curriculum through a comprehensive review of the literature. Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, and PyscINFO were searched in June 2020 for all original articles published between June 18, 1946 and June 17, 2020. All studies that used an educational curriculum to promote sun safety, skin exams, and early detection to high school students were included. A total of 25 studies with 22,683 adolescent participants were analyzed. Sixteen studies showed a significant increase in knowledge, twenty-one studies showed changes in behavior, and fifteen studies showed significant changes in attitudes. Limitations of this review include the heterogeneity of implementation and outcome reporting of educational curricula. These findings support incorporating active learning strategies as key aspects of creating an effective curriculum aimed at the prevention and early detection of melanoma.
