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
introductionPrimary Health Care (PHC) services are people's first point of contact with the health system. PHC helps to ensure health system resilience and health community, playing a vital role in preventing and detecting diseases early, especially during pandemics. By doing so, PHC helps reduce mortality rates significantly. This study aimed to explore the challenges affecting the resilience of PHC during pandemics and to develop a Framework for strengthening that resilience.
methodsThis qualitative research was conducted in three phases in 2024. In the first phase, semi-structured interviews were held with 14 experts in PHC that originated from IRAN to identify key challenges in PHC service delivery during pandemics. In the second phase, an initial resilience Framework was designed through an expert panel involving five specialists. In the final phase, the Framework was validated using a one-round Delphi process with 21 experts. Data were analyzed using MAXQDA 2020.
findingsThe analysis revealed six main themes: processes, human resource management, financial resource management, infrastructure and equipment, sociocultural factors, and policy and planning. From the data, 20 sub-themes and 102 initial codes were extracted. Based on expert feedback, a proposed PHC resilience Framework was developed and validated through the Delphi method, achieving a consensus score of 0.90.
conclusionHealth system managers and policymakers can apply the identified components of the proposed Framework to improve PHC resilience. Key strategies include optimizing financial resource allocation, expanding human resource capacity, enhancing workforce preparedness for pandemic response, promoting public awareness, strengthening social support systems, and advancing digital health and telemedicine infrastructure. These measures can help ensure the continuity of PHC services and enhance preparedness for future pandemics.
