Public Health Education Should Include Point-of-Care Testing: Lessons Learned from the Covid-19 Pandemic.
Article in EJIFCC, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
goalThe goal is to present key principles of point-of-care testing (POCT) in educational curricula that meet critical needs for rapid decision-making in disasters, outbreaks of highly infectious diseases, emergency management, and complex crises. OBSERVATIONS: The coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) pandemic unequivocally proved the value of POC strategies. Striking needs identified by COVID-19 challenges have yet to be entirely fulfilled. A comprehensive national survey showed absence of POCT training in public health colleges, schools, and programs. Fundamental improvements in national structuring of POC knowledge, skills, experience, training, dissemination, accreditation, and licensing are necessary, so that multidisciplinary public health teams can respond effectively and efficiently by geospatially optimizing the control and mitigation of highly infectious diseases and other critical challenges.
conclusionsFour sets of POCT learning objectives were developed for public health and other educational institutions. Global implementation of POC diagnostics in the hands of trained personnel will help avoid untimely worldwide crises, huge economic losses, uncounted excess mortality, and sudden disruptive surges of dangerous infectious threats to personal security and cultural stability.
