Effects of dance therapy on self-efficacy and mental health of college students.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Cultivating mental health talents is one of the most important goals of education, and some college students have varying degrees of mental health problems. Meanwhile, self-efficacy is an important concept in social cognitive theory and has significant health functions. This paper attempts to investigate the impact of dance therapy on the self-efficacy and mental health of college students. This paper used the SCL-90 Symptom Checklist to evaluate 462 college students twice before and after 3 months of dance exercise, and compared the results before and after the experiment. The experiment found that after 3 months of dance therapy, the average self-efficacy score of boys was 27.85 points, higher than that of girls at 26.84 points. All other scores were lower than the test scores before the experiment, indicating that the mental health of college students has improved after receiving dance therapy.
