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

Introduction: The electronic Community Health Information System (eCHIS) is a mobile health technology that was scaled nationally to community health workers (CHWs) in Kenya beginning in 2023. Since the rapid scale up, reports on eCHIS uptake show varying adoption rates. The overall purpose of this study was to assess the relationships between implementation process and acceptability of eCHIS by CHWs in Kenya. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 5 counties in Kenya with 310 CHWs (40 community health assistants and 270 community health promoters) selected through convenience stratified sampling. A structured questionnaire, developed by integrating the Technology Acceptance Model questionnaire and the Normalization MeAsure Development (NoMAD) tool, was administered by trained research assistants using Kobo Collect. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and structural equation modelling in STATA version 18. Results: Implementation process mechanisms were found to have positive and significant relationships with the acceptability of eCHIS. Specifically, cognitive participation had a significant and positive relationship with perceived usefulness of eCHIS ( Conclusions: Implementation process significantly influences the acceptability of eCHIS. It is therefore important for governments and other implementing partners to strengthen the eCHIS training programs, allocate sufficient financial and technical resources, and provide management support to the CHWs to enhance eCHIS adoption.
