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
introductionDisparities in access to tobacco cessation support and resources remain significant issues among community members with low socioeconomic status (SES). Community health workers (CHWs) can connect with community members and have flexibility in delivering treatments to underserved populations. The Community Health Allies Nicotine Guidance Education (C.H.A.N.G.E.) project, designed for CHWs, aimed to address the disparities by implementing a tailored tobacco cessation training program. The current study examined the C.H.A.N.G.E. program's preliminary effectiveness on CHW knowledge gain.
methodsData were collected from CHWs in Chicago, IL who participated in the training program between October 2022 and December 2023, and CHWs completed a tobacco cessation knowledge questionnaire pre-training, post-training, and at 1- and 6-month follow-up. A paired samples
resultsCHWs (N = 72) were mostly women (68%) who worked in their current role for an average of 2.34 years (SD = 1.54). The mean age of participants in the study was 38.06 years (SD = 13.09). Baseline knowledge was low (
conclusionThe C.H.A.N.G.E. training effectively improved CHWs' tobacco cessation knowledge. However, knowledge changes had no differences based on client types of CHWs. This study highlighted the importance of continuous adaptation and evaluation of training programs to fit the needs of CHWs and their clients in underserved, community-based settings.
