Evaluating the Effectiveness of a Creative Arts and Philosophical Inquiry Intervention Rooted in Self-Determination Theory to Promote Adaptive Coping with Eco-Anxiety among Elementary School Children: A Pilot Randomized Cluster Trial.

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
Background: Children's exposure to climate change information through educational and media channels can lead to experiencing eco-anxiety. When children use maladaptive coping strategies such as avoidance and de-emphasizing the seriousness of the threat, their anxiety and distress levels increase significantly. Research indicates that creative arts and existential psychology interventions grounded in self-determination theory may promote healthier coping mechanisms like creating meaning. Methods: This randomized cluster pilot study examined whether a creative arts and philosophical inquiry intervention could foster adaptive coping strategies in elementary school children. Eighty-seven students across four classrooms participated. The experimental group ( Results: Results showed significant decreases in overall eco-anxiety, affective eco-anxiety, and rumination eco-anxiety scores from pre- to post-intervention, regardless of group assignment. No significant interaction effects emerged between the intervention and time on any of the measured variables, indicating the intervention did not produce differential outcomes compared to the control condition.
