Evaluation of village health sanitation and nutrition committee in Himachal Pradesh, India.
Article in Journal of family medicine and primary care, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
introductionDecentralization through introduction of Village Health Sanitation and Nutrition Committees (VHSNCs) was a key initiative introduced in 2007 under the National Health Mission (NHM), India to address local health and sanitation issues. This study was done to assess the functioning of the VHSNCs. AIMS AND
objectives1. To assess the level of awareness among the VHSNC members about their roles and responsibilities 2. To assess the level of awareness among the community members about the committee and its functions. 3. To assess the pattern of disbursement and utilization of untied funds under VHSNCs. METHODOLOGY: A cross-sectional study of 30 VHSNCs conducted in district Kangra of state Himachal Pradesh. Information was collected through a review of records and in-depth interviews with community and VHSNC members.
resultsAll committee members knew about VHSNCs but the level of awareness among community members was comparatively less (67%). Some members were confused about their roles and responsibilities. Most active members were the FHWs, AWWs, ASHAs, Mahila mandal representatives, and the female ward panch. A major chunk (65%) of the funds is utilized on the cleanliness activities. For the nutritional part, the majority of the work is already being undertaken by the AWCs so there is no clarity regarding the functioning of the committee on this aspect.
