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
Objectives: Addressing the issue of mental health disorders in the community is a significant challenge for Indonesia's healthcare professionals. This study aimed to explore the challenges that community health workers (CHWs) encounter while providing mental health services in the community. Methods: Forty CHWs were selected to participate in the study by purposive sampling method from July to August 2023 in seven primary health centers (PHCs) among three cites of Indonesia. Focus group discussions were used to collect data. All of data were analyzed using the interpretive phenomenological analysis method. Results: Considering the participants' voluntary CHW role, the results were organized into five themes. These comprised two themes of challenges-family stigma and limited understanding of mental disorders, and three themes regarding efforts to overcome the challenges-maintaining self-motivation, fostering self-efficacy, and using communication skills when approaching families and patients. Conclusions: Upskilling and empowering CHWs helps to enhance community mental health. Thus, it is crucial to support CHWs through training programs that aim to improve mental health literacy and communication skills and diminish family stigma.
