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
Objective: To systematically synthesize evidence on the personal competency of tuberculosis (TB) health educators and to develop a scientifically robust and comprehensive evaluation indicator system. Methods: A two-phase mixed-methods design was employed. Phase 1 involved a scoping review of seven databases (PubMed/MEDLINE, Web of Science, Scopus, Embase, CINAHL, ERIC, and the Cochrane Library) to identify competency-related literature on TB health educators, with no restrictions on publication date, language, or geographic setting. Extracted competency elements were synthesized into a preliminary framework. Phase 2 used a modified Delphi method with two rounds of consultation among 20 Chinese experts in TB control and health education. Indicator importance was rated on a 5-point Likert scale, and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was applied to calculate indicator weights. Validity and reliability were assessed using content validity indices and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Results: The scoping review included 36 studies, from which seven core dimensions, 24 categories, and 63 specific competency elements were extracted. Both Delphi rounds achieved a 100% response rate. The expert authority coefficient (Cr) was 0.84. Kendall's W increased significantly from 0.295 (first round) to 0.328 (second round, both Conclusion: The personal competency evaluation indicator system for TB health educators developed in this study is scientifically sound, reliable, and practical. It provides a validated tool for competency assessment, targeted training design, and workforce development in TB health education.
