Community perception of the usefulness and ease of COVID-19 self-test in two areas in Paraguay.
Article in Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic posed challenges for health systems in rapidly diagnosing diseases.
methodsCommunity workshops and a self-administered questionnaire were implemented to determine the feasibility of self-testing for future epidemics and gain an understanding of community interest and the capacity to implement self-tests in two rural areas in Paraguay.
resultsComprehension of the self-test procedures and their application was demonstrated by 99% of the participants. The participants expressed interest in accessing these tests at home.
conclusionsSelf-tests could be a valuable tool in urban and rural communities that enable health systems to focus on severe cases.
