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

Participatory health research (PHR) is receiving increasing attention internationally as an approach for generating scientific knowledge to promote health equity for marginalized groups. A similar trend has been observed in Germany over the past several years. The primary characteristic of PHR is the direct participation of those people in the research process whose work or living conditions are the subject of the research. This article provides an overview of the origins, foundational principles, and current developments in the field of PHR. The international research literature is discussed in the form of a narrative review with a focus on previous review articles and publications from the International Collaboration for Participatory Health Research.The review indicates that a growing number of health researchers are engaged in participatory research and that a scientific discourse and various organizations have developed in many countries focused specifically on PHR. The following trends are of particular importance: consolidation and networking; clarifying the question of what constitutes participation in research; evaluating the impact and added value of PHR; adapting PHR to specific areas of application; and clarifying ethical questions in PHR.
