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

Community-based participatory research (CBPR) is essential for addressing health care inequities; however, it is unclear to what extent articles published in high-impact medical journals use CPBR. We reviewed original research articles in nine journals across 4 years to determine how frequently CBPR was used and, for articles using CBPR, details about partnerships. Of 5,624 articles, only 6 (0.1%) used CBPR. Five identified community partners and whether partners were involved in research planning/implementation, one reported that partners were involved in dissemination, and none reported adherence to CBPR principles. Improving integration of CBPR is an urgent priority for funders, institutions, journals, and researchers.
