Lessons from the field: COVID-19 outbreak investigations in Kpone-Katamanso, Greater Accra, Ghana: a Global South approach to disease control and contact tracing.
Article in Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2022. 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
In the Kpone-Katamanso Municipality (Greater Accra, Ghana), as part of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic response, public health teams implemented and carried out enhanced contact tracing and surveillance from March 2020 to March 2021. There were 725 confirmed COVID-19 cases during this time period, most of which were detected as part of the enhanced surveillance. This is resource intensive, but beneficial in the early detection of cases, thus reducing further community transmission and, in effect, stopping larger outbreaks at the source. A proactive approach to case detection can be successful in reducing community transmission and supporting the pandemic response.
