Article in Journal of education and health promotion, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.

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
backgroundKnowledge brokers, as a bridge between producers and users of knowledge, need a set of skills and abilities to fulfill their role. The current study was carried out with the aim of identifying the characteristics, skills, and qualifications needed by knowledge brokers in Iran's health sector. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis qualitative study was conducted through semi-structured interviews with 18 participants selected using social network analysis and snowball method from June to December 2022. All interviews were analyzed through the conventional content analysis method using the MAXQDA, version 20.
resultsTwo main categories (personality traits and professional competencies) and six subcategories (extroversion, acceptability, problem-solving skills, interactive skills, specialized skills, and specialized knowledge) were identified for knowledge brokers in Iran's health sector. Interpersonal communication skills, negotiation and persuasion skills, knowledge in both policymaking and research fields, and marketing and commercialization skills were defined as the most important factors in knowledge brokering.
conclusionIdentifying and training qualified and interested individuals to undertake the task of knowledge brokering, by taking into account the characteristics identified in this research and strengthening the required skills and qualifications, can increase the effectiveness of knowledge brokering and help to bridge the gap between research and policymaking.
