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
backgroundEngaging Arab immigrant populations in health promotion interventions can be challenging due to their unique needs and preferences. Fewer studies have explored the experience of health and community workers on the factors influencing Arab-Australians' engagement in health initiatives and health promoting behaviours. The aim of this study was to explore the perspectives of health and community workers on recruitment, engagement, and experiences with co-design for health promotion initiatives targeting Arab-Australian adults.
methodsThis qualitative study sampled 10 health and community workers aged 42.6 ± 13.0 years from New South Wales, Australia, to participate in a semi-structured interview during 2023-2024. The interview topic guide focused on exploring health and community workers' experiences with recruitment, engagement, and co-design. Data were analysed using deductive and inductive thematic analysis techniques.
resultsRecruitment strategies included using digital channels such as instant messaging or social media, directly engaging with established groups and networks, passive recruitment such as word-of-mouth, having or establishing trust with the community, and engaging community workers or champions. Engagement considerations included culture and religion, importance of family, importance of the facilitator, accessibility factors, content and approaches to delivery, and incentives. The themes related to co-design and collaboration were importance, approaches, and barriers.
conclusionsThe findings of this study provide a unique insight into the factors influencing recruitment, engagement, and co-design approaches when targeting Arab-Australian adults for health promotion initiatives. These findings could be used by researchers or those working in the community to inform the development of health promotion initiatives for Arab-Australian adults.
