The edutainment program on knowledge, perception, and uptake of cervical cancer screening among Muslim women in Southern Thailand: a quasi experimental study.

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
introductionCervical cancer is a significant global health concern and is the third most common cancer in women. Owing to their religious beliefs, Muslim women in Thailand are less likely to be screened for cervical cancer.
objectiveThis study aimed to explore how a Health Belief Model (HBM) (HBM = Health Belief Model)-Based Edutainment Program affects the knowledge, perception, and uptake of cervical cancer screening among Muslim women in Thailand.
methodsA quasi-experimental study was conducted in two rural districts of Southern Thailand with 83 Muslim women (intervention = 42, control = 41). The assessment was conducted through face-to-face interviews at baseline, post-intervention, and at 3-month follow-up. The intervention included four sessions involving video clips, folk songs, and short films. Data analysis was performed using repeated-measures ANOVA (ANOVA = Analysis of Variance) at a significance level of 0.05.
resultsThere were significant differences in the mean score of knowledge and perception between the intervention and control groups post-intervention and at 3-month follow-up (p < 0.001). The mean scores of knowledge and perception in the intervention group significantly increased post-intervention and at 3-month follow-up (p < 0.001). The uptake of cervical cancer screening tests in the intervention group was approximately twice as high as that in the control group (90.47% vs. 51.21%).
conclusionThe findings revealed that the Edutainment Program could improve the knowledge, perception, and uptake of cervical cancer screening among Muslim women in Thailand. In future studies, the intervention suggests testing different population groups to improve access to primary care for everyone.
