The Effect of Health Belief Model-Based Creative Drama Education on Health Locus of Control and Smoking Perception in Adolescents: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Trial report in Public health nursing (Boston, Mass.). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07026396 (Creative Touch in Menstrual Attitude and Hygiene Behavior), which is not on this map. Cited by 3 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.

Abstract
introductionThe aim of this study is to examine the effect of education given to eighth-grade adolescents in a primary school with health belief model (HBM)-based creative drama techniques on health locus of control (HLC) and smoking perception.
methodThis randomized controlled study was conducted between January and December 2019 in two primary schools in the Erzurum city center, Türkiye. The study included 80 eighth-grade students, who were randomly assigned to either the experimental group (n = 40) or the control group (n = 40) The experimental group received six sessions of creative drama training based on the HBM. Data collection instruments included the Multidimensional Health Locus of Control Scale (MHLC) and the Decisional Balance Scale for Children (DBSC). Pre- and post-test measurements were taken for both groups to assess changes in HLC and smoking perception. Statistical analyses were performed using repeated measures ANOVA to examine within-group changes over time and between-group differences, allowing us to understand the precise effect of the intervention across time points. Additionally, descriptive statistics were used to report means and standard deviations for all variables. No protocol registration number was available for this study at the time of its execution.
resultsThe students in the experimental group showed a significant increase in the internal control sub-dimension of the HLC (t = -5.090, p < 0.001) and a decrease in the external control sub-dimension (U = -3.369, p < 0.001). For the Decisional Balance Scale, there was a significant decrease in the pros sub-dimension (t = -5.535, p < 0.001) and an increase in the cons sub-dimension (U = -3.934, p < 0.001). In the control group, only the pre-test mean score for the chance/fate sub-dimension was higher (p < 0.05). The repeated measures ANOVA confirmed significant within-group changes in the experimental group: an increase in internal locus of control and a decrease in external locus of control. Smoking perception also showed significant changes, with a decrease in the pros sub-dimension and an increase in the cons sub-dimension, validating the intervention's effectiveness.
conclusionWhen creative drama practices are used together with the HBM, it caused a positive change in the HLC and the perception of cons toward smoking.
