Therapeutic Relationship and Study Adherence in a Community Health Worker-Led Intervention.
Article in Journal of community health, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Community health workers (CHWs) are increasingly utilized to reach low-resource communities. A critical domain influencing success is the CHWs' ability to create and maintain a therapeutic relationship with the participants they serve. A limited evidence base exists detailing this construct, and evaluating CHW-participant relationships in the context of CHW-led programs. In a longitudinal study design, data on this therapeutic relationship were collected [as captured using The Scale to Assess the Therapeutic Relationship in Community Mental Health Care (STAR)] on 141 participants who had been assigned to a CHW during their perinatal period. Results indicate that therapeutic relationship was associated with the participant's psychosocial health, and independently predicted study adherence in the longitudinal intervention. Changes in therapeutic relationship over the months following birth were strongly associated with changes in anxiety and depression symptoms. A trustful relationship is critical in ensuring CHWs can effectively reach the population they serve. The findings offer additional psychometric evidence of the uses and benefits of STAR outside of the traditional clinical setting in the context of public health research.
