Approaches for community intervention and research priority setting to reduce health inequalities: a scoping review.
Article in Journal of public health (Oxford, England), 2026. 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
backgroundThere is growing attention on research and intervention prioritization regarding the social determinants of health to address health inequalities. Community involvement in this prioritization is centrally important. This scoping review aimed to identify: (i) examples of priority setting regarding the social determinants of health and (ii) methods for involving local communities in research or intervention prioritization.
methodsSearches were conducted in Medline, Social Policy & Practice, Applied Social Sciences Index & Abstracts, CINAHL, and Carrot2 in May 2024. Eligible studies reported prioritization with communities for interventions or research about the social determinants of health. Studies reported primary research in high-income countries. A narrative synthesis was undertaken, with a review team involving different professionals and public contributors.
resultsEighteen studies were included. Community prioritization methods varied, though commonly included participatory approaches, with additional reports of Delphi exercises, a super-setting approach, a nominal group technique, a deliberative exercise using a serious game, and a modified James Lind Alliance process.
conclusionsMeaningful community involvement in research and intervention prioritization offers critical opportunities to reduce existing health inequalities. Participatory and coproduced approaches are valuable to research collaborations, funders, and public health organizations, which should ensure trust, accessibility, and inclusion to involve diverse and underrepresented communities.
