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

COVID-19 has highlighted and exacerbated many global health inequities. Emerging evidence suggests that SARS-CoV-2 can spread through fecal aerosols, making sanitation a critical part of the COVID-19 mitigation strategy and providing an opportunity to reflect on current challenges and opportunities related to global sanitation at large. Global sanitation interventions continue to fall short of their target expectations, leading to millions of deaths and illnesses worldwide. Eurocentric approaches to sanitation fail to account for sociocultural determinants of sanitation behaviors and health, leading to low sanitation intervention uptake. Global public health needs to take a decolonial approach to our research and practice, and meaningfully involve local communities to progress towards global health equity.
