Gaining influence: Developing a Healthy Public Policy Unit at Vancouver Coastal Health.
Article in Canadian journal of public health = Revue canadienne de sante publique, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
settingRegional Public Health Unit (Office of the Chief MHO, Vancouver Coastal Health Authority, BC, Canada).
interventionRecognizing the need to invest resources that strategically move public health work "upstream" where policies and investments can shape the determinants of health, the Office of the Chief MHO for Vancouver Coastal Health embarked on a process in 2019 to develop a population health team designed to engage in Healthy Public Policy (HPP) and Health in All Policies (HiAP) approaches to health promotion. The mission and design of this unit was informed by internal and external research and engagement which continued even through the COVID-19 pandemic. OUTCOMES: In the fall of 2022, this new unit, the first of its kind in British Columbia, was launched. In 2023, it embarked on strategic planning, engaged in key public policy processes, and implemented priority areas of work to help advance healthy public policy in the region, including the development of processes, tools, and practices to support a more systematic and rigorous approach to this emerging area of public health practice. IMPLICATIONS: The creation of this new Healthy Public Policy Unit invites discussion within Canada's public health community on the issue of resource allocation to support upstream interventions seeking to build the capacity and effectiveness of HPP and HiAP approaches.
