Assessment of the Functioning of Health and Wellness Centers in Kurud Block, Dhamtari District, Chhattisgarh: A Facility-Based Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Cureus, 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
Background Ayushman Bharat - Health and Wellness Centers (HWCs), now renamed as Ayushman Arogya Mandir, are envisioned to provide an expanded range of healthcare services. This study was conducted to assess the functioning of HWCs in the rural field practice area of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Raipur. Materials and methods This was a facility-based analytical cross-sectional study conducted in the Kurud block of Dhamtari District, Chhattisgarh. Half of the HWCs in the Kurud block were selected using stratified random sampling. Data on inputs and outputs from the selected 20 HWCs were collected using an observation checklist and analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 21.0 (Released 2012; IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA). Results There was a significant shortfall (41.2%) in the availability of community health officers (CHOs). Most centers lacked adequate infrastructure, and none had the full complement of essential equipment and medicines. Only 17.6% of Sub-Health Center-HWCs (SHC-HWCs) and none of the primary health centers met the diagnostic standards outlined in the operational guidelines. Teleconsultation facilities were available in 70% of HWCs, and yoga sessions had been initiated in 85% of them. All HWCs had started screening for hypertension and diabetes. Based on performance grading, 52.9% of SHC-HWCs were classified as high-performing, while 47.1% were low-performing. Performance was found to be significantly associated with the presence of a CHO, availability of a laptop, webcam, and teleconsultation facilities. Conclusions To improve overall performance, all HWCs should address human resource gaps, ensure logistics align with operational guidelines, strengthen teleconsultation infrastructure - including uninterrupted internet access - and enhance information, education, and communication coverage and screening services.
