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
Objective: To search the literature for evidence on community participation and empowerment practices in primary health care in Latin America. Methods: Scoping review following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) checklist. The review was conducted in March 2024. The Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature (LILACS), and MEDLINE (via PubMed) databases were searched. The results obtained across all databases were exported to the Mendeley Results: Thirteen studies, conducted in Brazil, Chile, Colombia, and Mexico, were selected. Community participation and empowerment practices were identified in two main settings: institutional and social. In the institutional setting, the importance of training health care professionals and establishing educational groups for the overall population was emphasized. In the social setting, the importance of home visits and community activities was emphasized. Conclusions: Institutional practices for community participation and empowerment have great potential to improve population health and well-being. However, challenges such as a lack of resources, staff training, and community engagement must be addressed. A comprehensive approach that combines actions at the institutional, community, and individual levels is needed to achieve a sustainable impact on community empowerment.
