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

Community engagement in Primary Health Care (PHC) enhances system resilience. This scoping review and expert consultation aimed to document the range of community-driven interventions and strategies implemented in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) in response to shocks and identify factors that enable or hinder their implementation. The research used a mixed-methods approach, including a scoping review of 70 studies from January 2019 to July 2024 and interviews with seven subject experts. The findings were then validated with six additional experts. The study identified 14 community-driven strategies, grouped into three main categories: community health worker participation, community engagement, and mobilization of civil society organizations. For each category, the researchers analyzed facilitators and challenges. This work provides a comprehensive compilation and analysis of community-driven interventions during emergencies in LAC. The findings offer valuable insights for improving emergency preparedness and response strategies in health systems.
