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
backgroundConsidering the high number of community health workers (CHWs) in the world and their essential role in improving community health, empowering them is of particular importance. However, communication skills are one of the most important skills needed by the CHWs. Therefore, the current study was designed and implemented with the aim of determining the effect of educational intervention based on intervention mapping approach on increasing the communication skills of CHWs. METHODS AND MATERIALS: This sequential mixed method study (a mixture of qualitative and quantitative methods) was conducted in three phases and during four sub-studies. In the first study, the main competencies for health education in the field of health among CHWs and the obstacles and facilitators in the field of health education were explained qualitatively. In the second study, an initial questionnaire was designed and standardized to measure communication skills. In the third sub-study, a cross-sectional study was conducted to investigate the communication skills of 299 CHWs. After designing the educational intervention based on the intervention mapping, in the fourth study, the effect of the educational intervention on increasing the capabilities of CHWs in the field of communication skills was investigated in the form of a randomized controlled trial study among 136 CHWs.

conclusionThe educational program based on intervention mapping increased the communication skills of the participants. Therefore, it is suggested to design and implement educational interventions based on the intervention mapping approach to increase the communication skills of CHWs.
