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
Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the effect of a peer-training program for village health volunteers (VHVs) to improve chronic disease management among older adults in rural Thailand. Methods: The study was guided by community-based participatory research (CBPR). The peer-training program was developed by engaging diverse stakeholders, including community organizations, healthcare services, VHVs, older adults with chronic illnesses, and folk scholars in remote communities with high healthcare needs. The peer-training program comprised a three-day training workshop that convened once a week for three weeks with the following six sessions: knowledge sharing, peer support and empowerment, health literacy and health behavior, the general caring procedure for older adults with chronic illnesses, information sharing and communication, and home visit. From January to April 2021, a total of 28 VHVs completed the peer training program in a rural area in Chiang Rai province, Thailand. The Health Literacy and Health Behavior-3E2S (HLHB-3E2S), the Management of Non-Communicable Diseases Questionnaire (MNCDQ), and a self-confidence questionnaire were used to survey pre (week 1) and post-intervention (week 12), respectively. Then VHVs were interviewed to collect attitudes, and opinions about the intervention. Results: After the intervention, the HLHB-3E2S scores (49.39 ± 5.54 vs. 52.35 ± 4.26, Conclusion: Peer training programs are a practical strategy to improve VHVs' capacities.Healthcare professionals should provide a continuous training program for VHVs with their peers to increase capacities, confidence, and satisfaction in caring for the older adults with chronic diseases in the community.
