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: The distribution of hepatitis C (HCV) infection in Canada signals a widening gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people. Current evidence demonstrates that the rate of HCV infection among Indigenous people is at least five times higher than the rest of Canada. This analysis provides a reconciliatory response, which exposes the colonial etiology of the HCV gap in Canada and proposes potential anti-colonial approaches to HCV wellness and health care for Indigenous people. Methods: This analysis applies Two-Eyed Seeing as a reconciliatory methodology to advance the understanding of HCV burden and identify the key elements of responsive HCV care in the context of Indigenous nations in Canada. Results: The analysis underlines the colonial distribution of HCV burden in Canada, highlights Indigenous perspectives on HCV infection, hypothesizes a clinical pathway for the underlying colonial etiology of HCV infection, and identifies Indigenous healing as a promising anti-colonial conceptual approach to HCV wellness and health care among Indigenous people. Conclusions: In the eyes of Indigenous people, HCV infection is a colonial illness that entails healing as an anti-colonial approach to achieving wellness and gaining health. Future empirical research should elaborate on the colonial HCV pathway hypothesis and inform the development of a framework for HCV healing among Indigenous people in Canada.
