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: Limited access to preventive healthcare in rural and remote areas poses a persistent challenge for early identification of non-communicable disease (NCD) risk. We evaluated the feasibility and acceptability of Methods: We conducted a prospective, single-arm feasibility and acceptability study from June to November 2023 in Chiang Mai Province, Thailand. A total of 120 adults aged 30-70 years without a prior recorded diagnosis of the target NCDs were enrolled. Trained CHLs used Results: Of 126 individuals approached, 120 were enrolled (recruitment rate 95.2%), and 119 completed follow-up (retention rate 99.2%). CHL competency improved after training, with mean assessment scores increasing from 8.4 to 9.3 ( Conclusion: This prospective study suggests that
