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

A Consumer and Community Involvement program located in Australia supports consumers, community members and researchers to work in partnership with health research priorities, policy and practice. The program is positioned to enhance Consumer and Community Involvement (CCI) at individual, organisational, and system levels. Partners are key to the program's development, growth and sustainment. This study explored various partner perspectives on their involvement within the CCI program, including individuals (consumers, researchers) organisations (universities, medical research institutes) and the system level (funding organisations) alongside CCI program coordinators (delivering the program) and high-level leaders (decision-makers/executive leaders/directors). Data were collected via two focus groups (10 consumer and community involvement members), 12 interviews (researchers, universities, funding organisations, and medical research institutes), nine qualitative proformas - open-text box surveys (CCI program coordinators (current and previous) and high-level leaders) between March-June 2024. Data were de-identified and Template Analysis was conducted and informed by the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research. Two themes were produced: (1) 'Consumer and Community Involvement program structures' describes the structures of the inner setting (e.g., expertise and support offered, tailored partnerships), and the outer setting (e.g., funding policies, outer consumer and community networks, hub and spoke approach). (2) 'Processes for connecting consumer/community and researchers' describe the process (e.g., the communication channels and a bridge between consumer/community members and researchers). This study improves understanding of the planned and tailored structures and processes that embed CCI across individuals, organisations and system levels while highlighting opportunities to strengthen internal consumer connections and diversify consumer representation.
