Article in Journal of education and health promotion, 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
backgroundThe health science education landscape has evolved to recognize the importance of community engagement in advancing educational outcomes. This study sought to explore how community engagement has been integrated into health science education and its benefits for students in the Western Cape. MATERIALS AND
methodsTwo samples of academics were recruited: those from emergency medical care (EMC) departments specifically and academics with community engagement experience in health sciences. Sample 1 consisted of 16 EMC academics, while sample 2 comprised of 13 academics from health sciences. Data was gathered using two focus group discussions with sample 1 and in-depth interviews with sample 2.
resultsFour broad themes emerged: student preparedness for community engagement, pathways to engagement, assessment of projects, and benefits of the engaged experience.
conclusionThe study highlighted ways to prepare students for engagement and integrate these experiences into the classroom context, thereby enhancing the value of learning about social and health issues. It found that creating assessments around engaged experiences can entrench community engagement in EMC education, enriching students with opportunities to work collaboratively with disadvantaged communities.
