Socio-Cultural Adaptation and Its Related Factors for Chinese Medical Aid Team Members (CMATMs) in Africa.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Chinese Medical Aid Team Members (CMATMs) have a significant impact on the implementation of China's health assistance strategies in Africa. The socio-cultural adaptation of CMATMs not only relates to the psychological situation and life quality of each member of the medical aid team, but also to the health aid performance of every single member and the medical aid team as a whole. This study evaluated CMATMs' socio-cultural adaptation and its related factors. This was a cross-sectional survey study. The participants' socio-cultural adaptation was measured by the Chinese version of the Socio-cultural Adaptation Scale (CSCAS). Stepwise multiple linear regression models were used to identify the main factors that are associated with CMATMs' socio-cultural adaptation in general and in each dimension. The present study demonstrated that, to some extent, CMATMs are facing problems in socio-cultural adaptation, specifically in interaction. The type of service region, annual aid income, and length of service were identified as the main factors that were the most predictive of the CMATMs' socio-cultural adaptation in Africa. This study obtained baseline information that is useful to relevant stakeholders in their attempts to improve CMATMs' socio-cultural adaptation.
