Leverage the power of ritual to improve community health worker efficacy and public health outcomes: Lessons from Bihar, India.
Review in The Lancet regional health. Southeast Asia, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Biomedical health interventions now have global reach and interact in complex and often poorly understood ways with traditional medical rituals that precede biomedicine. People often experience biomedical practices and treatments as rituals because they are very similar from an experiential perspective.
