[Task sharing in family planning in Burkina Faso: quality of services delivered by the delegate].
Article in The Pan African medical journal, 2020. 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
introductionwe conducted a pilot study for transferring skills for intrauterine device (IUD) insertion and implants to primary health care workers (PHCWs) as well as to provide injectable contraceptives to community health workers (CHWs) in 20 Health Centers in the Tougan Health District. This was aimed to increase access to contraceptive methods in Burkina Faso. Moreover, the purpose of this study was to assess the quality of family planning (PF) services offered by these delegated (PHCWs and CHWs).
methodswe conducted a cross-sectional, descriptive, analytical study. Data collection was based on quantitative and qualitative methods. It included the 20 health centers in the study area and all providers (54) involved in contraceptive product supply (delegators and delegatees). Nineteen (19) recipients including 10 new contraceptive users were interviewed. The method of data collection included the observation of FP services and of the working environment, document review and individual interviews. Data were analyzed using Epi info 7 and Open Epi version 3.01. software. Chi-square test and Student's t-test were used to determine whether there was significant difference between the quality of PF services offered by the delegators and that of the delegatees.
resultsPF service quality score in the study area was 73% for the delegators' vs 69% for the delegates. There was no statistically significant difference between these scores. However, there was a statistically significant difference between the quality score of community health workers (75.8%) and the quality score of counselors (delegators; 87.5%) (P <0.05). It was the same for quality score determining who was eligible for implants. The quality score of PHCWs was higher than that of delegators: 79% for delegators, 64% for delegatees.
conclusionthis purpose of this study was to improve the geographic coverage for long-acting contraceptive methods. Under certain conditions (skills-building, monitoring, coaching), it is possible to extend the transferring of skills for long-acting contraceptive methods to PHCWs as well as the provision of injectable contraceptives to CHWs, while maintaining a satisfactory level of FP service quality.
