Effects of a game-based learning ıntervention on self-reported learning strategies and professional attitudes in kinesiophobia management education: a parallel-group randomized controlled 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
Innovative educational strategies are increasingly needed in physiotherapy education to support students' learning and professional development. Game-based learning (GBL) is an interactive, student-centered approach that may enhance engagement and active participation. This randomized controlled trial investigated the effects of a structured GBL intervention on self-reported learning strategies and professional attitudes in kinesiophobia management education among physiotherapy students. Ninety-six final-year physiotherapy students were randomly assigned to an intervention group (n = 48) or a control group (n = 48). The intervention group participated in a five-week GBL program consisting of theoretical sessions, case-based simulations, and gamified escape-room activities, while the control group followed the standard curriculum. The primary outcome was self-reported learning strategy scores assessed using the Learning Styles Scale for Health Sciences Students. Professional attitudes, assessed using the Attitude Scale Towards the Physiotherapy Profession, were considered a secondary outcome. Data were analyzed using t-tests and mixed ANOVA (α = 0.05). Ninety-four students completed the study. Compared with the control group, the intervention group demonstrated significantly higher post-intervention visual (p = 0.001) and kinesthetic (p = 0.034) learning strategy scores. Significant group × time interactions were observed for visual (η
