Aunties, WhatsApp, and "haldi da doodh": South Asian communities' perspectives on improving COVID-19 public health communication in Ontario, Canada.
Article in Canadian journal of public health = Revue canadienne de sante publique, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
objectiveTo identify, from the perspective of South Asian communities, areas for improvement in public health communication.
methodsFocus groups were conducted with individuals (N=24) who could converse in English and self-identified as South Asian adults (18+) residing in Ontario. Participants were asked to share how, if at all, their identity as South Asian shaped their experiences during the pandemic and acceptance of public health measures put in place to mitigate the spread. Data were interpreted through the lens of intersectionality.
resultsParticipants perceived a lack of culturally relevant and linguistically accessible health messaging, leading to the proliferation of misinformation. Peer-to-peer knowledge sharing filled a critical gap but created opportunities for misinformation to spread.
conclusionImproving equity in health communications should be informed by structural changes to the public health sector in Ontario.
