Effect of gynecological and breast cancer education using a creative drama method on midwifery students' awareness: a randomized controlled trial.
Article in BMC nursing, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07073599 (The Effect of Breast and Gynecological Cancer Education Using Creative Drama Method on Midwifery Students' Awareness), which is not on this map.

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
backgroundMidwifery students need adequate awareness of gynecological and breast cancers to support prevention, early detection, and health education.
objectiveTo examine the effect of a creative drama–based cancer education program on midwifery students’ awareness of gynecological and breast cancers.
designRandomized controlled trial with a pretest–posttest control-group design conducted in one university midwifery school in Türkiye.
methodsSecond-year midwifery students were randomized to creative drama–based education (five weekly sessions, 120 min/session) or lecture-based education. Outcomes were measured using the Gynecological Cancers Awareness Scale (GCAS) and the Breast Cancer Awareness Scale (BCAS) at baseline and 5 weeks later.
resultsFifty-three students were randomized (intervention n = 27; control n = 26) and all were analyzed. Posttest scores were higher in the intervention group for GCAS total (187.15 ± 19.09 vs. 172.00 ± 21.84; p = 0.015; Cohen’s d = 0.74) and BCAS total (79.81 ± 11.36 vs. 57.20 ± 6.25; p = 0.010; d = 2.45). Within the intervention group, both GCAS and BCAS subscale scores increased significantly from pretest to posttest (p < 0.05), whereas no significant changes were observed in the control group.
conclusionCreative drama–based education produced statistically significant and practically meaningful improvements in midwifery students’ awareness of gynecological and breast cancers compared with lecture-based education.
