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

The Pacific Island Health Officers Association supports health workforce capacity building in the United States-Affiliated Pacific Islands by implementing a Field Epidemiology Training Program (FETP) called Strengthening Health Interventions in the Pacific (SHIP). This study presents a secondary analysis of survey and interview data from a 2023 mixed-methods external evaluation to identify and examine stakeholder perspectives on the program. Quantitative survey data from 83 respondents were analyzed using descriptive statistics, with Wilcoxon signed-rank tests used to compare retrospective self-assessed proficiency ratings. Qualitative data from 52 key informant interviews and open-ended survey responses were analyzed using thematic coding. Analysis identified 6 themes grouped within 2 domains: the SHIP learning model and participant skills development and application. Stakeholders identified workplace-based learning, academic accreditation, inclusion of non-communicable disease epidemiology, and support from supervisors and instructors as important features of the learning model. Survey respondents reported high satisfaction with the program, frequent application of SHIP-acquired skills in routine public health practice and outbreak response, and significant improvements in retrospective self-assessed proficiency across all competencies (
