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
Background: Health promotion in correctional settings faces challenges due to limited healthcare access and restricted environments. Nurses are primary healthcare providers in correctional institutions; however, evidence on nurse-led capacity-building programs for inmate health volunteers remains limited. Developing the capacity of Prison Public Health Volunteer Leaders (PPHVs) through a holistic healthcare approach can enhance their self-reliance. Objective: This study aimed to collaboratively develop, implement, and evaluate a holistic health care program to strengthen the capacity of PPHVs at the Central Correctional Institution for Young Offenders in Pathum Thani Province, Thailand. Methods: This study employed a Participatory Action Research (PAR) design. A total of 100 well-behaved inmates were purposively selected as PPHVs and actively engaged as co-participants throughout the PAR process. The intervention was collaboratively designed and implemented over five weeks, comprising ten participatory training sessions that addressed physical, mental, social, and environmental health dimensions. Quantitative data were collected using validated questionnaires assessing knowledge, attitudes, health practice skills, data management skills, and overall capacity at baseline, post-intervention, and at 1-month follow-up. Data were analyzed using repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results: The findings revealed statistically significant improvements ( Conclusion: The holistic health care program significantly improved PPHVs' capacity, suggesting promise for strengthening inmate health volunteer programs in correctional settings. These findings have significant implications for nursing practice in designing capacity-building programs, nursing education in preparing nurses for correctional care, and nursing policy in developing standards for correctional nursing in Thailand. Trial Registry Number: Thai Clinical Trials Registry (TCTR20260115003).
