Building Capacity and Trust through Community Engagement: Lessons Learned from a Research in Health Equity Symposium.
Article in Journal of primary care & community health. 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
backgroundAcademic medical centers frequently recognize the importance of community engagement for advancing health equity. Yet, they often lack the infrastructure and skills needed for sustained collaboration. The 2025 Department of Medicine Research in Health Equity Symposium at the University of Rochester directly addressed this issue by focusing on community-engaged research.
methodsThe 2025 symposium was designed to foster community engagement through 4 core strategies: (1) selecting a focused health equity topic; (2) issuing a call for community-engaged research abstracts; (3) featuring a panel of community experts; and (4) implementing targeted outreach and accessibility efforts to encourage diverse attendance. Evaluation data were collected via a post-event Continuing Medical Education survey.
resultsThe symposium drew 220 registrants across academic and community sectors. Survey results (n = 53) indicated an improved understanding of health disparities and increased knowledge of best practices for community engagement. Attendees reported greater motivation to foster community engagement in their work and identified best practices, such as centering lived experiences and reducing participation barriers. Qualitative comments indicated a desire for similar events to be hosted throughout the year.
conclusionsThis symposium offers a replicable model for growing community-engaged research in an academic medical center. The event contributed to advancing long-term goals of health equity by building institutional capacity building and community connections. The organizing team is taking continued steps to advance community engagement, including conducting a community-engaged research landscape analysis and developing a longitudinal project to build capacity for community and clinician researchers.
