Strengthening integrated community case management through digitalization and performance management in Busia County, Kenya.
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 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Kenya continues to face a high burden of childhood mortality driven by preventable illnesses such as diarrhea, malaria, and pneumonia. Integrated community case management (iCCM) offers a strategy for mitigating this burden through community-level diagnosis, treatment, and referral. This study assessed the role of digitalization and performance management in enhancing the effectiveness of the iCCM strategy in Busia County. Using a quasi-experimental design, a comparison of iCCM intervention outcomes in Nambale sub-county with a non-iCCM comparison site in Teso South sub-county was done. Data were collected through household surveys and in-depth interviews. Results showed a significant improvement in healthcare-seeking behavior in the intervention site, with 56% of caregivers reporting that they sought care for pneumonia on the same day of symptom onset, compared to 35% in the comparison site (
