Changing the Story on Health and Racial Equity: Why Public Health Needs an Infrastructure for Building Narrative Power.
Article in The Milbank quarterly, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Policy Points One form of power that is required for advancing health and racial equity is narrative power: the ability to shift the stories we use to make sense of the world. Building this form of power requires the field of public health to strategically work to connect institutions and organizations to align in complementary ways to create, build, and sustain new narratives-what we refer to as narrative infrastructure. We illustrate these ideas using real-world examples drawn from work in tobacco control and emerging work in addressing structural racism in public health.
