Core Competencies and a Workforce Framework for Community Health Workers: A Model for Advancing the Profession.
Article in American journal of public health, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07279415 (Activate Tennessee), which is not on this map. Cited by 46 papers.
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.

Abstract
objectivesTo establish a validated, standardized set of core competencies for community health workers (CHWs) and a linked workforce framework.
methodsWe conducted a review of the literature on CHW competency development (August 2015), completed a structured analysis of literature sources to develop a workforce framework, convened an expert panel to review the framework and write measurable competencies, and validated the competencies (August 2017) by using a 5-point Likert scale survey with 58 participants in person in Biloxi, Mississippi, and electronically across the United States.
resultsThe workforce framework delineates 3 categories of CHWs based upon training, workplace, and scope of practice. Each of the 27 competencies was validated with a mean of less than 3 (range = 1.12-2.27) and a simple majority of participants rated all competencies as "extremely important" or "very important."
conclusionsWriting measurable competencies and linking the competencies to a workforce framework are significant advances for CHW workforce development. Public Health Implications. The standardized core competencies and workforce framework are important for addressing health disparities and maximizing CHW effectiveness.
