Methods for Building Community-engaged Partnerships in Ecotoxicology.
Article in Progress in community health partnerships : research, education, and action, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundEcotoxicology provides powerful tools to characterize the nature and effects of pollution, which can be impactful when used in community-engaged research (CEnR). However, academic researchers are often insufficiently informed about the communities in which they conduct research. Researchers are not usually from or familiar with the cultural nuances of these communities, which is problematic for the strength of community-engaged projects. CEnR in ecotoxicology integrates local ecological knowledge and cultural understanding of communities with academic disciplines. Our ecotoxicological investigations of the health effects of pesticides, perchlorate, and toxic metals among residents of the Sonora-Arizona border involve direct collaboration among university researchers and local community groups.
objectivesWe created a protocol for establishing and maintaining community-university partnerships to address ecotoxicological effects of pollution. Our step-by-step process fosters genuine research relationships, leading to better outcomes for the affected communities.
methodsWe compiled information collected by our team members through qualitative interviews and group discussions. Using integrated perspectives, we created research protocols for sustainable and equitable partnerships in community-based ecotoxicology. The steps illustrate effective practices for beginning, building, and bolstering such partnerships.
conclusionsEcotoxicology projects require expertise from an array of fields. Investigators approach projects with different background knowledge, training, and experiences. In effective partnerships, each group adds significant value to the overall project, whether that contribution is technical proficiency, local knowledge, or cultural wisdom. These partnerships require trusting relationships and suit organizations committed to long-term collaborations. Our approach offers a replicable model for transdisciplinary teams seeking to conduct meaningful, collaborative ecotoxicology research.
