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

Black youth in New Orleans experience some of the highest rates of violence in the US. Although Youth Participatory Action Research (YPAR) is recognized as an effective tool for empowering young people and fostering social change, its application in violence prevention remains an area worthy of further application. This case study presents a YPAR-based program designed to address structural issues, including racism, discrimination, and economic disinvestment, that contribute to youth violence. The Enrichment to Empowerment (E2E) program provides a platform for youth to advocate for systemic change in their communities. This paper offers actionable insights into equity-centered approaches for violence prevention, highlighting the potential for YPAR programs as a strategy for addressing complex, community-driven issues through youth-led initiatives.
