Dance to be creative: the creative beliefs, creativity ability and improvisation performance in experts, amateurs, and non-dancers.
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
Introduction: The connection between dance and creativity offers a promising avenue for exploration. This study examines the relation between modern dance and creative performance (cognitive and motor) as well as creative self-beliefs. Methods: Expert dancers (35), amateur dancers (45) and non-dancers (controls, 36) performed a creative task and completed questionnaires measuring creative beliefs (self-concept, self-efficacy, and growth mindset). Experts and amateurs also performed a dance improvisation task. Results: (i) Experts performed better in both creative and improvisation tasks; amateurs showed higher creative performance than controls; (ii) experts (but not amateurs) reported higher creative self-beliefs than controls; (iii) improvisation performance was predicted by creative task scores in amateurs but not in experts, who likely rely more on their domain-specific expertise. Discussion: The results confirm links between dance and creative performance (cognitive and motor) and highlight the role of creative beliefs as a function of expertise.
