Building capacities in the Andean region: Training health professionals on climate change and health.
Article in The journal of climate change and health. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Introduction: As the impacts of climate change increase, health professionals must understand its impact on disease and public health risks. Building capacity across various regions is essential for enhancing decision-making within the health sector and mitigating climate-related risks. In response, the Organismo Andino de Salud (ORAS-CONHU), the Global Consortium on Climate and Health Education (GCCHE) and the Panamerican Health Organization (PAHO) collaborated to launch the first virtual Andean regional course on Climate and Health. Case Presentation: This five-week course featured twice-weekly 90-minute live virtual sessions, followed by Q&A. Participants were administered pre- and post-surveys to evaluate the course's effectiveness. Out of 950 registered individuals, 767 attended at least one session, and 418 attended six or more sessions.Results indicate increased capacity among health professionals to address climate resilience, including skills in vulnerability assessment, risk management, adaptation strategies Discussion: This program is the first Spanish-language live virtual training targeting regional health officials from the Ministries of Health, National Institutes of Health, and international agencies involved in health promotion, disease surveillance and control, disaster management, health service provision, public health program management, and the evaluation of climate-sensitive diseases. While other institutions offer climate and health courses, these programs are primarily conducted in English and are mostly not tailored to regional challenges. Conclusion: The strong turnout of participants underscores a significant interest in this educational format and highlights the need for broader engagement in climate and health education.
