Fishing with skis, digging with noodles: Resolving task-and-tool mismatches in efforts to advance health equity.
Article in Dialogues in health, 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
When it comes to advancing equity, across the health sciences, efforts repeatedly target interventions on those most burdened by inequities rather than the systems or structures that give rise to inequities. This mismatch, in and of itself, is an important determinant of equity. While many conceptual models draw collective attention to deeper, structural causes (e.g., social, political, and commercial determinants of health) as the 'what', inattention to questions of 'how'-or the collective practices that serve to connect what is known with what is done-are like a wedge holding this gap in place. In this article, we use an exaggerated metaphor of mismatched task-and-tool to provoke critically reflective dialogue about collective attachment to scholarship and practices incoherent with our own body of knowledge. We offer a set of five practices easily integrated in any aspect of work related to advancing equity, through everyday actions anyone (anywhere) can take to purposefully act from an evidence and equity-informed position.
