Factors determining job satisfaction of malaria community microscopists in Palawan, the Philippines: a cross-sectional mixed-methods study.
Article in International health, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThis study was conducted to investigate the overall job satisfaction and its associated factors among microscopists as community health workers who specialize in malaria microscopic diagnosis and treatment in Palawan, the Philippines. The study offered new insights to further lessen the burden of malaria and improve treatment by enhancing their commitment and satisfaction.
methodsA quantitative study was conducted with 217 microscopists who were asked about their sociodemographic characteristics, ability as microscopists (service quality, knowledge of malaria and ability to diagnose malaria by microscopy [malaria microscopy]) and job satisfaction. Structural equation modelling (SEM) was conducted to analyse these factors. A qualitative study was also conducted and four focus group discussions (FGDs) were carried out.
resultsSEM identified that the job satisfaction of microscopists was enhanced by ability in malaria microscopy, the annual parasite index and belonging to ethnic minorities. In the FGDs, high job satisfaction was seen in their devotion to the community and increasing knowledge about malaria.
conclusionsProviding opportunities to improve malaria microscopy ability would increase the overall job satisfaction of microscopists and eventually improve the quality of care.
