1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionStrengthening strong leadership skills is essential for program managers to successfully implement programs for the prevention and control of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs). This study identified leadership competencies for managers of individuals with noncommunicable diseases in Iran.

methodsThe study had three steps: a literature review, an expert panel, and a Delphi technique survey. First, the literature was reviewed to compile a list of leadership competencies in the field of primary health care (public health, NCDs). To refine and adapt the original list of leadership competencies, it was provided to the expert panel in two stages. The list of leadership competencies was sent via email to 30 experts over the course of two Delphi rounds. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the outcomes.

resultsFifteen leadership competencies, comprising multisectoral collaboration, political awareness, evidence-informed decision making, risk and disaster management, planning, innovation, leading and managing change, team building, communication, quality improvement, systematic thinking, management, ethics and professionalism, motivation and inspiration and personality, were identified.

conclusionThe leadership competencies identified in this study can be a helpful tool in evaluating and identifying skills, knowledge, and attitudes with program managers for the prevention and control of NCDs and in designing training programs to strengthen leadership skills.
