1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundCapacity Building and Mentorship Partnership (CBMP) is a flagship program designed by the Ethiopian Ministry of Health in collaboration with six local universities to strengthen the national health information system and facilitate evidence-informed decision making through various initiatives. The program was initiated in 2018. This evaluation was aimed to assess the outcome of CBMP on health data quality in the public health facilities of Amhara National Regional State, Ethiopia.

methodsA matched comparison group evaluation design with a sequential explanatory mixed-method was used to evaluate the outcome of CBMP on data quality. A total of 23 health facilities from the intervention group and 17 comparison health facilities from a randomly selected district were used for this evaluation. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) evaluation framework with relevance, effectiveness, and impact dimensions was used to measure the program's outcome using the judgment parameter. The program's average treatment effect on data quality was estimated using propensity score matching (PSM).

resultsThe overall outcome of CBMP was found to be 90.75 %. The mean data quality in the intervention health facility was 89.06 % [95 %CI: 84.23, 93.88], which has a significant mean difference with the comparison health facilities (66.5 % [95 % CI: 57.9-75]). In addition, the CBMP increases the data quality of pilot facilities by 27.75 % points [95 %CI: 17.94, 37.58] on the nearest neighboring matching. The qualitative data also noted that there was a data quality problem in the health facility and CBMP improved the data quality gap among the intervention health facilities.

conclusionsThe outcome of the CBMP was highly satisfactory. The program effectively increased the data quality in the health facilities. Therefore, the finding of this evaluation can be used by policymakers, program implementers, and funding organizations to scale the program at large to improve the overall health data quality for health outcome improvement.
