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
backgroundThis article presents findings from the ‘Diverse Experiences and Understandings of Immunity in the Pandemic Age’ project. The aim of this research was to identify how Australians from specific communities who are perceived to be more at risk of COVID-19 and mpox experience and understand the relationship between human immunity, health, and illness in the age of existing and emerging infectious diseases and pandemics.
methodsThirty semi-structured interviews were conducted with four key sub-groups: (i) people identifying as LGBTQIA+; (ii) people with lived experience of HIV; (iii) hepatitis B (HBV); and/or (iv) hepatitis C (HCV). These sub-groups were included in the study because they have extensive experience in dealing with infectious disease prevention and management, as well as facing the social stigma and marginalisation that are often part of these experiences. Furthermore, some members of these communities are among those most at risk of contracting COVID-19 and mpox and subsequently experiencing severe or prolonged disease.
findingsThematic analysis captured key findings as related to accessibility and acceptability of public health initiatives; access to health services; public health communication and education; and connection and support. Participants’ responses highlight how successful interactions between health communication strategies, inclusive health service delivery, social supports and public health protections, together with community organisations’ services, education campaigns and other supports, can alleviate the impacts of inequalities related to infectious diseases such as COVID-19 and mpox.
conclusionsThe article discusses participants’ views on how health communication, public health, and community support initiatives have helped or hindered their efforts to keep well since the outbreak of COVID-19 and mpox. It includes recommendations for how these agencies and initiatives can better support communities of people faced with social discrimination and other inequalities in the future.
