Local Health Jurisdiction Staff Deliver Health Promotion to Small Worksites, Washington.
Trial report in Journal of public health management and practice : JPHMP. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
contextWorksites can serve as community sites for local health jurisdictions (LHJs) to assist with implementation of evidence-based interventions (EBIs) to prevent and control chronic diseases.
objectiveTo assess the feasibility and effectiveness of using LHJ staff to disseminate Connect to Wellness (CtW), an effective dissemination package for increasing implementation of EBIs for chronic disease control by small worksites.
designSingle-arm, multisite intervention trial, with measurement at baseline, after 6 months of intervention, and after a maintenance period of 6 months.
settingSix geographically dispersed counties in Washington State. Target worksites had 20 to 250 employees.
participantsNine staff members from 6 LHJs delivered CtW to 35 worksites.
interventionConnect to Wellness seeks to increase worksites' implementation of 14 EBIs classified as communication, policy, or program approaches to increasing 4 behaviors: cancer screening, healthy eating, physical activity, and tobacco cessation.
main outcome measureEvidence-based intervention implementation measured on a scale from 0% to 100%.
resultsParticipating worksites showed a significant increase (P < .001, t test) in total mean implementation scores from baseline (33%) to 6-month follow-up (47%). Increases in implementation for communications, policy, healthy eating, and tobacco EBIs were statistically significant at 6 months and maintained at 12 months. Increased implementation at 6 months of a group physical activity program was not sustained after the program became unavailable, and total implementation scores at 12 months (38%) showed little change from baseline.
conclusionsLocal health jurisdiction-delivered CtW increased worksites' implementation of EBIs at 6 months, and increased implementation in communication, policy, healthy eating, and tobacco was maintained at 12 months. This package, delivered by LHJ staff working part-time on CtW, was nearly as successful as prior delivery by staff working full-time on CtW.
