Article in Community health equity research & policy, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundUtilizing iterative and collaborative tools, Human-centered Design (HCD) facilitates the creation of tailored solutions for multifaceted issues by fostering empathy and a deep understanding of human behaviors. This paper presents insights gleaned from employing HCD tools to center communities in global health intervention development. PURPOSE: The study team collaborated with community members in Dailekh, Nepal to co-design interventions to address harms associated with menstrual seclusion, known as RESEARCH DESIGN AND STUDY SAMPLE: A Community Design Team, comprising 10 women representing various castes and ages convened for a four-day intervention co-design workshop in the community. A Community Validation Team, comprising 12 individuals from diverse occupational and caste backgrounds provided feedback on the interventions. Additionally, six village leaders participated in Key Informant Interviews to garner additional insights. DATA COLLECTION: In the study's initial "discovery" phase, the Community Design Team employed HCD tools to generate a nuanced understanding of the context, stakeholders, and community experiences. Subsequently, in the second "design" phase, the Community Design Team crafted interventions to address harms associated with
resultsInvaluable lessons gained from this study underscore the necessity of crafting contextually suitable tools, checklists, and prompts for participants, allocating sufficient staff, time, and resources, and adapting to participants' literacy levels and engagement preferences, whether through group or individual activities.
conclusionsReflecting on these insights, our experience suggests HCD offers promising tools to authentically and equitably involve participants with diverse backgrounds in articulating their own ideas for community-based solutions in Nepal. Health practitioners, researchers, and intervention development experts are encouraged to consider adopting HCD methodologies to prioritize community voices in devising solutions for complex health challenges.
