Clinician and patient readiness to engage with community health workers at epilepsy care centers.
Article in Frontiers in neurology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Introduction: For patients with epilepsy, medical and social support care gaps may potentially be addressed by clinic-based community health workers (CHWs), particularly for patients most susceptible to health disparities. However, little is known of health professionals' readiness to integrate CHWs into epilepsy health care delivery. Methods: An online digital survey was developed and distributed to physicians, nurses and social workers working in 12 comprehensive epilepsy centers in the New England region. Questions in the survey pertained to respondents' perceptions of working with and addressing clinic needs via a CHW at an epilepsy center. Demographic data were also collected. Results: Survey results across physicians, nurses and social workers ( Conclusion: Despite limited understanding of CHW roles or firsthand experience with CHWs, clinician and patient readiness for integration of CHW was high, with a strong indication that clinicians would refer patients to a CHW and that patients felt the potential for health benefit if provided with assistance from a CHW.
