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
The COVID-19 public health emergency challenged the capacity for public health systems to vaccinate newcomer refugees and immigrants in the Calgary, Canada, area. In response, community-health partnerships emerged in 2021-2022 to provide accessible, culturally responsive, and adapted services for community members. This research highlights community mobilization and partnerships' role in COVID-19 vaccine delivery for newcomer refugees and immigrants, including challenges faced and lessons learned. Researchers conducted structured interviews with Government Assisted Refugees (GARs), and semi-structured interviews with Privately Sponsored Refugees (PSRs), private refugee sponsors, and diverse health and community informants involved in COVID-19 vaccine responses. Thematic analysis highlighted themes related to partnership development, strategies and actions of partnerships, alignment with World Health Organization recommendations, and partnership benefits and challenges. Multiple newcomer-specific vaccination models were developed through various community-based partnerships. The roles of community partners included information translation and transmission, outreach, and advocacy. Partnerships faced challenges, including existing infrastructure and inequitable policies for COVID-19 vaccine distribution. These existing elements required substantial advocacy to be more equitable in their outcomes. This research highlights how gaps in the public health system during early vaccination efforts catalyzed communities to mobilize and drove the creation of community-health partnerships in the Calgary area. These partnerships were effective at facilitating vaccine uptake through innovative, community-informed and culturally-responsive approaches. A key concern remains that, despite learnings and changes to COVID-19 vaccination systems, the health system has not sufficiently integrated changes to address equity in the long term.
