How is "solidarity" understood in discussions about contact tracing apps? An overview.
Review in Frontiers in public health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, there is much discussion about contact tracing apps, their use to contain the spread of the virus as well as the ethical, legal, and social aspects of their development, implementation, acceptance, and use. In these discussions, authors frequently mention "solidarity" when making key points in arguments. At the same time, authors rarely specify how they understand "solidarity". This lack of specification about how they understand "solidarity" can lead to misunderstandings in discussions. Objective: To prevent such misunderstandings, it is important to specify how one understands "solidarity" when mentioning it in the discussions on contact tracing apps. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to elaborate how "solidarity" is understood in the context of contact tracing apps, i.e., how different authors understand "solidarity" when using it in discussions about these apps. Methods: In order to find out how different authors understand "solidarity" when discussing contact tracing apps, I conduct a literature review. I collect papers from several databases, inductively work out central differences and similarities between the different uses of "solidarity", and use them to code and analyze relevant passages. Results: In the final sample, five different understandings of "solidarity" in the context of contact tracing apps can be identified. These understandings differ in how different authors (1) imagine the basic concept of solidarity, i.e., what "solidarity" refers to, (2) how they temporally relate solidarity to contact tracing apps, and (3) how they perceive the causal interactions between solidarity and contact tracing apps, i.e., the different ways in which solidarity and contact tracing apps influence each other. Conclusions: The five understandings of "solidarity" in the context of contact tracing apps presented here can serve as guidance for how "solidarity" can be understood in discussions-thus contributing to a better mutual understanding and preventing communicative misunderstandings.
