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

This article describes the human resources for health (HRH) policy and action plan development in Barbados, Grenada, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines, the supporting role of the PAHO/WHO Collaborating Centre on Health Workforce Planning and Research, Dalhousie University, and sub-regional action for supporting continuing country-level HRH strengthening. A policy development process, comprising document/literature review and stakeholder consultations, was used to conduct a situational analysis, which informed the HRH policy and action plan. The policies and action plans centered on HRH priority areas of leadership and governance, HRH planning capacity, strengthening primary health care, optimization of pre- and post-licensure education/training, retention and recruitment, deployment and utilization, inter-sectoral and external partnerships for sustainability, health information systems, and HRH research. A cross-sectional analysis of the findings found that HRH challenges and priority areas were consistent across the countries, resulting in similar policy priority actions that are aligned with the regional lines of action for strengthening HRH for universal access to health and universal health coverage. The results support the value-add in collaborating on a regional level to build capacity for needs-based HRH planning within member countries. The Caribbean-Community (CARICOM), with facilitation by Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) Caribbean Subregional Programme, has established the Human Resources for Health Action Task Force for the Caribbean. The expertise of the Dalhousie University PAHO/WHO Collaborating Centre, provided through the technical assistance, supported the three countries in this important initiative and provides for further opportunities to support PAHO, the Task Force, and countries as they work to achieve their HRH strengthening objectives.
