Roles of health promotion researchers in the planning stages of a global urban health promotion initiative: understandings identified from an interview-based case study.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2025. 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
Introduction: Health promotion research is marked by recognizing diverse forms of knowledge, the embeddedness of research practices in context, the relationship between researchers and stakeholders, and the articulation of knowledge production and sharing. Amid this epistemology, researchers' understanding of their roles in specific projects and programs led by different stakeholders is essential. We used a global initiative to promote governance for health and wellbeing in five cities of different low-and middle-income countries as a case study to analyze senior-level researchers' understanding of their role within the initiative. Methods: We conducted a qualitative content analysis, supported by computer-assisted qualitative data analysis software, of verbatim interview transcripts from semi-structured qualitative interviews with the full sample of senior-level health promotion researchers ( Results: We identified three diverging types of local researchers' roles understandings: (1) active deep involvement in collaborative arrangements, (2) balancing between active involvement and passively supporting, and (3) passively supporting the initiative. Researchers transcended sectoral boundaries to varying degrees and acted at the nexus between academic, practice, and policy communities. Discussion: Our proposed typology delineating the roles of senior-level health promotion researchers has the potential to stimulate reflexivity regarding role comprehension and underlying assumptions among all stakeholders before and during the implementation of ongoing and future urban health initiatives.
