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

In 2002, the Institute of Medicine highlighted community partnerships as important in strategies for ensuring the public's health in the 21st century. Whether defined narrowly as the neighborhood or more broadly as the entire nation, communities represent settings in which health is supported and protected by healthy social connections and environments or risked and damaged by detrimental social, environmental, and policy determinants, as well as adverse behavioral and lifestyle choices. In this article, cardiovascular disease in African Americans is used as an example to highlight the successes achieved during the last half-century in reducing mortality rates, the persisting challenge of suboptimal adoption of evidence-based practices to promote community health and prevent disease, and the still widespread and pervasive health disparities. The article concludes with a call for the scientific community to embrace implementation research in strategic partnership with community stakeholders to stem the tide of cardiovascular disease and reduce related cardiovascular health disparities.
