The Community Health Worker academy: a novel healthcare and public health workforce development model.
Article in Frontiers in health services, 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
As the demand for an expanded Community Health Worker (CHW) workforce accelerates nationwide, the need for training, continuing education, professional development, and experiential field placements (internships and apprenticeships) with quality supervision has expanded dramatically. For example, the US state of Michigan recently received federal approval for the health education and social determinants of health services provided by CHWs to be eligible for Medicaid insurance reimbursement (governmental subsidized healthcare insurance), which has spurred tremendous demand for the CHW workforce by all types of employers. This paper describes a series of events and opportunities that led to the development of the Wayne State University Community Health Worker Academy (CHWA) in Detroit, Michigan, USA. Preliminary evidence suggests that the Academy's model and continuous process improvement strategies are successful. Implications of this model for other organizations involved in expanding and strengthening the CHW workforce development nationally and internationally are discussed, as are implications for career pathway opportunities for CHWs beyond their initial certification
