A time-and-motion analysis of multipurpose healthcare workers from Kashmir.
Article in Journal of family medicine and primary care, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundA multipurpose health worker (MPHW) is the pivotal functionary and the first point of contact in health care sector. This study explores the work-related activity of MPHWs in the different domains and also assesses their time utilization pattern.
methodsA time and motion study was conducted among 12 multipurpose health care workers (MPHWs) from 10 different Subcenters of block Hazratbal. Participants self-reported their daily activities on a time measurement sheet for 6 days. Data were entered in Microsoft Excel and analyzed using SPSS v25.0. Calculations are based on a total of 544.5 person-hours of observation by ANMs.
resultsTime utilization pattern revealed that ANMs spent one-fourth of their time on maintaining registers. Observations on self-reporting were comparable with that of observations made by external observers.
conclusionsThis study reflects the workload in different domains of MPHWs' activities and nature of their work, relevance of their job responsibilities in the context to Indian public health standards for their job.
