Evaluating community engagement strategies in COVID-19: insights from a National Quasi-Experimental Intervention.
Article in BMC public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundCommunity engagement is essential during crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the effectiveness of community engagement during this pandemic, especially in low- and middle-income countries, has not been seriously investigated.
objectiveThe effectiveness of a comprehensive intervention program in managing COVID-19 in Iran emphasizes community involvement and multifaceted strategies.
participantsAll individuals who were admitted to hospitals and outpatient clinics across the country with suspected COVID-19 symptoms.
methodsA quasi-experimental study was conducted on the implementation of interventions (supportive, caring, and supervisory) by neighborhood-based teams during the COVID-19 epidemic in Iran. The evaluation took place four months later. Data from various inpatient and mortality sources was used, along with statistical-epidemiological analyses such as logistic regression analysis, and odds ratio.
resultsDeaths per day declined from 479 to 75 within the study period. R
conclusionEpidemic management when combined with community participation can be very effective in crisis situations. Strengthening the disease care system and more supervision in the implementation of the strategy and having an effective relationship with the doctors of the private sector to comply with the national protocol, an effective step will be taken towards the control of this disease and finally its elimination.
