The Emergence of Genomic Research in Africa and New Frameworks for Equity in Biomedical Research.
Article in Ethnicity & disease, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers.
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
Individuals with African ancestry have the greatest genomic diversity in the world, yet they have been underrepresented in genomic research. To advance our understanding of human biology and our ability to trace human history, we must include more samples from Africans in genomic research. Additionally, inclusion of more samples from participants of recent African descent is imperative to provide equitable health care as genomics is increasingly used for diagnosis, treatment, and to understand disease risk. The Human Heredity and Health in Africa initiative (H3Africa) seeks to expand the number of Africans included in genomic research and to do so by expanding the research capacity on the continent. In this article, we discuss how H3Africa is endeavoring to achieve these goals while promoting equitable research collaborations.
