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
introductionIn 2018, in an effort to address the mental health inequities experienced by Black Canadians, the Government of Canada announced a CAD 10 million investment to establish the Public Health Agency of Canada's Promoting Health Equity: Mental Health of Black Canadians Fund (MHBC). The aim of this study was to examine and document the lessons learned from the MHBC, including successes and challenges.
methodsResearchers conducted document analysis of 15 participating projects from 14 organizations' annual and final reports. Researchers then conducted interviews with representatives from nine of these organizations. An embedded case study design was used in the data collection and data analysis that included content analysis of annual and final reports, as well as thematic analysis of individual interviews.
resultsAnalysis of the data from annual and final reports and interviews illuminated three main themes: facilitators of successes; challenges; and lessons learned and recommendations for funders. Facilitators included honorariums and incentives, participatory action research design and Black leadership. Challenges included delays (for obtaining ethics approval and program implementation); impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic; and difficulties maintaining partnerships. Finally, the lessons learned and recommendations that emerged for funders were that there is a need for longer term and more flexible funding, more Black representation and leadership within funding organizations and greater support of antiracist practices among mainstream service providers.
conclusionThe findings of this study present the challenges and opportunities in supporting work aimed at improving the mental health and well-being of Black people in Canada.
