Health needs assessment tool for identifying the health issues among community residents with unmet needs.
Article in Tropical medicine and health, 2025. 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.
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
backgroundThis study aimed to discuss the method for designing a community project, especially in a resource-limited setting, using a health needs assessment tool, the Community Health Issues Interview Sheet, for the design of a project in the initial phase.
methodsThe Community Health Issues Interview Sheet was developed; this tool applied more than four field and modified based on feedback from researchers and stakeholders.
resultsWhen researchers from outside a target community design a community project, there are three factors to consider: resource size, target population, and focused health issues. The interview sheet was aimed at identifying priority health issues among the target population.
conclusionsAll community projects should be well-designed, and priority health issues should be assessed using a health needs assessment tool, such as the interview sheet in the initial project stage. Further education for researchers about project design in communities with resource-limited settings should be provided, and research on the experience of using the health needs assessment tool should be accumulated.
