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: Residents of the State of Delaware experience high levels of health inequities. Service-learning programs provided jointly by universities and community partners can address health disparities through documentation of disparities and service provision that sees patients where they are. Benefits accrue for both students and communities experiencing health inequities. Methods: HEALTH for All (H4A) mobile unit clients can receive a variety of services at sites co-located with community based organizations (CBOs). Between September 2023 and January 2024, H4A clients had their blood pressure assessed by a trained healthcare provider. Demographic and ZIP Code of residence data were collected by a trained graduate student. Data were recorded and analyzed using Microsoft Excel Version 16.5 (Redmond, WA, USA). All documentation was reviewed and approved by the University of Delaware's Institutional Review Board (IRB #1567044-3). Results: Between September 2023 and January 2024, 152 clients participated. Most participants were female (72.27%; 104 of 143) and identified as White (68.66%; 92 of 134). The largest group of clients were in Stage 1 Hypertension (34.21%; 52 of 152), followed by Elevated (23.68%; 36 of 152), Normal (22.37%; 34 of 152), and Stage 2 Hypertension (19.74%; 30 of 152). Black or African American clients had higher systolic and diastolic blood pressure compared to other racial and ethnic groups. There were also differences in the share of clients with hypertension by ZIP Code of residence. Conclusions: Interprofessional service-learning in a mobile health context provides students with practical field experience and real-world insights into community perspectives and needs, including addressing health inequities. Academic-community partnerships and mobile health programs should be prioritized in the future to address health inequities and foster the development of socially engaged, community-minded future professionals.
