Community health workers: developing roles in public health dementia efforts in the United States.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Community Health Workers (CHWs) are a growing part of the healthcare workforce. Trusted in their communities, CHWs can provide essential health education and connection with culturally responsive health and support resources and programs. Despite their demonstrated effectiveness in improving outcomes in other chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, HIV, and pediatric asthma, CHWs have been underutilized in dementia-related efforts. Properly equipped with education and skills, CHWs can fill important gaps throughout the dementia care continuum, strengthening public health efforts to support people with dementia and their families, especially in populations at higher risk such as African American, Latino and American Indian/Alaska Native groups. We outline key roles CHWs can play throughout the continuum of dementia care, improving brain health and reducing dementia risk at all life stages, such as improving early detection of cognitive impairment and helping caregivers navigate the daily challenges of dementia care in the community setting. Finally, we highlight key actions public health can lead to support the development of a dementia-capable workforce nationwide.
