1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

A three-pronged, locally rooted biomedical informatics (BMI) capacity strengthening approach contributes to the transformation of BMI education and research in Mozambique. This program integrates faculty fellowships, a new BMI track in a master's program, and annual workshops and bootcamps to drive sustainable change, improve practitioners' BMI skills, and strengthen institutional research capacity. Continuous evaluation is integral to program success. Multiple evaluation methods were used to assess implementation and outcomes. Pre- and post-workshop surveys measured changes in knowledge and skills. Independent samples t-tests assessed differences between pre- and post-training responses. Course evaluations and exit focus groups obtained feedback about the fellowship. Findings indicated training efficacy and growth in BMI knowledge and research skills. Integrated, continuously evaluated BMI training can contribute to sustainable workforce and research capacity development in sub-Saharan Africa.
