An Electronic-Based Curriculum to Train Acute Care Providers in Rural Haiti and India.
Article in Journal of graduate medical education, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundAccess to a trained, competent health care workforce remains a challenge globally, particularly in rural settings. To bridge this gap, the World Health Organization calls for innovations in electronic learning and task shifting. Yet, these approaches are underutilized due to cost, challenges associated with implementing technology, and a lack of suitably educated trainees.
objectiveWe explored the feasibility of the Acute Care Providers Project (ACPP) to remotely train community members to be health care providers in 2 sites: Haiti and India.
methodsThe ACP program is an asynchronous curriculum that provides core health content and a structured approach to clinical care through an electronic curriculum. The curriculum is reinforced with case-based practice and hands-on workshops for procedural skills. ACPP was deployed in rural Haiti and India. Evaluation of the program included multiple-choice pretests and posttests, an objective structured clinical examination (OSCE), and direct observation of skills.
resultsFour Haitian and 55 Indian trainees completed the course. In Haiti, mean scores were 34.8% (SD 12.4) on the pretest and 78.0% (SD 6.5) on the posttest (
conclusionsThe ACPP offers a scalable, replicable asynchronous curriculum to train lay individuals to provide basic health care in rural communities.
