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
introductionSikh Asian Indians are an underserved, minority group demonstrating high rates of diabetes. Community health workers (CHWs) are effective in addressing health disparities by reaching socially and linguistically isolated populations. There are no culturally-adapted programs for diabetes prevention among Sikh Asian Indians, thus, this study tests the efficacy of a culturally-tailored CHW intervention to improve diabetes prevention-related outcomes among Sikh Asian Indians at-risk for diabetes.
methodsA quasi-experimental two-arm intervention among Sikh Asian Indian adults at-risk for diabetes and living in New York City (n=160) was conducted in 2013-2014. The treatment group received six monthly CHW group education sessions and ten follow-up phone calls; the control group received the first session. Main outcomes included weight, body mass index (BMI), blood pressure (BP), physical activity (PA), diet, and health self-efficacy.
resultsPositive and significant changes in weight, BMI, and diabetes prevention-related indicators were seen among both study groups. However, only treatment group participants showed significant changes over time for weight, BMI, PA self-efficacy, and health-related self-efficacy. Significant between-group differences were seen in adjusted analyses for weight, BMI, systolic BP, total weekly PA, PA self-efficacy, PA social interaction, portion control, barriers to healthy eating, and health self-efficacy. At 6-months, treatment participants were more likely to lose ≥5% and ≥7% of their weight compared to control participants (p=0.071, and p=0.015, respectively).
conclusionsFindings demonstrate that a culturally-adapted CHW diabetes prevention program in the Sikh community is efficacious, adding to the growing literature on CHWs' capacity to address health inequity among underserved populations.
