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

Latine communities have long faced stark health inequities and systemic barriers to accessing healthcare services. Community health workers (CHWs) serve as a key link between patients and the often-daunting healthcare system, providing crucial health education and support. Despite this important yet demanding role, little is known about CHWs' personal experiences of community health promotion and how they might draw upon their work for strength and endurance. The present study explored the potential for relational savoring, a procedure that elicits feelings of closeness and connection, to capture CHWs' experiences of community health promotion. CHWs (n = 30) from California community health agencies completed audio-recorded tasks in which they recalled and mindfully savored service provision memories. Transcripts were examined via inductive thematic analysis. Four themes were identified: Fulfilling Experiences, Sources of Resilience, Challenges of Community Health Work, and Support Net. The present study expands our understanding of important caregiving processes in community health workers. Findings may inform future efforts to improve individual and group-level mental health outcomes in Latine communities.
