1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeTo identify the determinants to successfully implement a community-based intervention to increase eye care utilization in individuals at high-risk for eye diseases.

designQualitative study with semi-structured interviews.

methodsSemi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with community members in Detroit, Michigan at a trusted community site. Participants were Black Americans at least 40 years of age. A codebook of themes was developed through an iterative process and analyzed using Dedoose.

resultsNarrative themes emerged under 2 overarching categories: barriers and facilitators. The number of themes identified were 15 and 14 for barriers and facilitators, respectively. All perceived barriers and facilitators fell into one or more domains of the social determinants of health model.

conclusionsIdentifying facilitators and eliminating barriers to eye care in Black and low-income communities is essential to successful implementation of interventions to increase eye care utilization. Understanding how these determinants align with social determinants of health may be helpful in designing community-based interventions. Community-based participatory research methods are critical to achieving equity in eye care.
