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

backgroundThe federally-funded four-state HEALing Communities Study (HCS) aims to reduce fatal opioid overdoses. Each state was required to establish a Community Advisory Board (CAB). CABs have the potential to shape research priorities, ensuring relevance to affected communities.

objectivesDescribe personal and professional benefits of Massachusetts HCS CAB participation. Discuss strategies that promote HCS-MA CAB member benefits.

methodsNineteen of 20 HCS-MA CAB members responded to prompts: How has your involvement in the CAB impacted you as an individual, in your work in the community, and on the study? Consider the personal and professional benefits. Responses were analyzed using Thematic Analysis. LESSONS LEARNED: Benefits of serving on the HCS-MA CAB included mutual learning in an "honest and open space," forming new relationships, and pride and gratitude in working together on a shared goal.

conclusionsThe results of this case study suggest how valuable community engagement and sharing multiple ways of knowing can be for CAB members.
