The potential benefits of "community champions" in the healthcare system.
Article in Healthcare management forum, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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 a study to understand acceptability and uptake of Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) self-sampling, we engaged community champions to lead recruitment and other study activities. This article describes qualitative findings relevant to the role of the community champion. We found that community champions were critical to promoting awareness about and encouraging cervical screening and HPV self-sampling. They were well-connected community members who had healthcare backgrounds, which created trust in their messages. They were highly effective at encouraging screening because of their education and cultural congruency, combined with the time for thorough and clear explanations. Women had an inherent level of comfort with the community champions that often did not exist with their physician. The community champions were seen as being able to address some of the barriers that exist within the healthcare system. We encourage health leaders to consider how this role can be sustainably and meaningfully incorporated into the healthcare system.
