Transcreation matters: A learner centric participatory approach for adapting cancer prevention messages for Latinos.
Article in Patient education and counseling, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundAdvancing health equity requires innovative patient education approaches for adapting English-language evidence-based interventions (EBIs) to resonate with multicultural, multilingual audiences.
objectiveExamine the benefit, functionality, and practical considerations of transcreation (translation + cultural adaptation) as a critical and salient learner-centric process for developing a Spanish-language intervention (photonovella + video): Un examen sencillo para un colon saludable (A simple test for a healthy colon). PATIENT/COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT: We involved patients/community members in a participatory reflective process, from problem identification to intervention design, development, delivery, and impact measurement.
methodsA community-based participatory research (CBPR) approach involving formative research plus systematic iterative pretesting and learner verification checks augmented by a community advisory board guided the transcreation processes.
resultsData collected using a learner-centric approach effectively produced a new Spanish-language EBI and substantiated the value of co-learner/co-design methods. Learner-centric methods identified cultural nuances that were treated as knowledge and integrated into the intervention materials and study design. Pilot testing of the intervention among Latinos receiving care at community clinics demonstrated improved initial colorectal cancer screening uptake, awareness, and perceived susceptibility. DISCUSSION: Inherent in the transcreation process was learner involvement that informed essential modification and adaptation of the materials. The transcreation methods led to the development of a culturally salient intervention that maintained theoretical integrity and message intent as well as behavioral activation. Findings have broad implications for the creation and transfer of EBIs to new audiences for greater adoption, engagement, and 'reach' of interventions. PRACTICAL VALUE: Transcreation aligns with a growing paradigm shift in health communication science that brings to light the beneficial effect that construction and application of cultural knowledge has on patient education toward health equity.
