Footcare Intervention Delivered by Community Health Workers: A Modified Delphi Study.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Studies have shown that community health workers (CHWs) can effectively deliver footcare interventions (FCIs) as part of diabetes self-management education programmes in high-resource countries. However, more evidence is needed on implementing FCI in low-resource countries and more detailed information about the core components of FCI provided by CHWs. This study aims to refine the core components of the footcare intervention to be delivered by CHWs (FIne-CHWs) for T2DM patients and to analyse Delphi panel members' opinions and perceptions regarding the core components of FIne-CHWs. Triangulation data from previous steps of data collection (scoping and mapping review combined with interview data) identified 42 statements representing the core components of FIne-CHWs. After two rounds of a Delphi exercise involving 22 panel members, experts in diabetes from all over Indonesia, a consensus agreement was reached on 41 out of 42 statements of the core components of FIne-CHWs. Free-text responses to the Delphi survey were analysed using thematic analysis. One overarching theme emerged: CHWs "are only volunteers." This then was discussed in three themes, namely CHWs deliver footcare education for all people with diabetes, remuneration and incentives, and flexibility of community FCI. This study determined the core components of FIne-CHWs and also identified that the position of CHWs within the Indonesian healthcare system could impact the implementation of the FIne-CHWs programme.
