Citizen science for research in public health: perspective.
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. Cited by 2 papers.
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
In order to enhance health and lessen inequities, public engagement strategies that unite various stakeholders to jointly identify issues and develop alternatives are acknowledged as an essential tactic to support research-informed policy and implementation. Through the use of citizen science methods, researchers can collect and analyze more information and make research more cost-effective by enlisting members of the public as participants. Research on health has already been greatly impacted by the vast and unique data sets acquired through citizen science methodologies. Engaging community viewpoints into public health research and policy-making has proven difficult. Thus, research capacity must be developed to allow academics and policy-making and implementation stakeholders to meaningfully interact with the public. A fundamental tenet of public health is involving the community, which is seen as being vital in ensuring that initiatives and regulations designed for enhancing health and welfare that are pertinent to local needs and make the most from scarce resources.
