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

Background: Co-design has increasingly been posited as a useful approach for Indigenous peoples and other social groups that experience inequities. However, the relatively rapid rise in co-design rhetoric has not necessarily been accompanied by increased understanding of whether co-design works for these social groups, and how equity is addressed. Methods: We conducted a systematic review to identify the current state of co-design as theory and praxis within the context of health and/or disability related interventions or services, with a specific focus on equity considerations for Indigenous and other children and young people from priority social groups. Six electronic databases were searched systematically to identify peer-reviewed papers and grey literature (dissertation and theses) published between January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2020, and a hand-search of reference lists for selected full texts was undertaken. Results: Fifteen studies met the inclusion criteria. Although all studies used the term 'co-design', only three provided a definition of what they meant by use of the term. Nine studies described one or more theory-based frameworks and a total of 26 methods, techniques and tools were reported, with only one study describing a formal evaluation. The key mechanism by which equity was addressed appeared to be the inclusion of participants from a social group experiencing inequities within an area of interest. Conclusion: A dearth of information limits the extent to which the literature can be definitive as to whether co-design works for Indigenous and other children and young people from priority social groups, or whether co-design reduces health inequities. It is critical for quality reporting to occur regarding co-design definitions, theory, and praxis. There is an urgent requirement for evaluation research that focuses on co-design impacts and assesses the contribution of co-design to achieving equity. We also recommend culturally safe ethical processes be implemented whenever undertaking co-design.
