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
introductionAs part of a quality improvement initiative, our emergency department (ED) implemented a community advisory council consisting of leaders from five community-based organizations (CBO) that provide services for survivors of intimate partner violence. We used qualitative interviews with participants from the organizations to evaluate the council by identifying factors that promoted and hindered their engagement in this partnership between the community and the ED as well as best practices for future collaborations
methodsWe conducted five, 30-minute semi-structured interviews, one for each CBO representative on the council. Interview questions were based on validated toolkits for evaluating community-based participatory research. We conducted thematic analysis using a barriers and facilitators framework.
resultsOur focus on building relationships within the community advisory council facilitated collaboration between the ED and the CBOs. We identified structural barriers to and facilitators of the relationship-building process, as well as four behaviors that promoted relationship-building within the council. These behaviors included a joint problem-solving orientation, a culture of curiosity, shared empathy between emergency clinicians and CBO members, and a deeper understanding of barriers to caring for survivors of intimate partner violence in the ED. Themes regarding the impact of the council included the results of tangible projects as well as cultural shifts in the ED as perceived by leaders of the CBOs.
conclusionWe share a case study of a collaboration between the ED and community-based organizations that illustrates barriers to and facilitators of engagement by leaders of these organizations in community-healthcare partnerships. The ED is a short but meaningful stop in recovery for many survivors, and a warm handoff to a CBO can be an essential next step in their care. When rooted in mutually respectful, trusting relationships, ED-CBO partnerships have the potential to enable survivor-centered, quality improvement efforts that work to improve the continuum of care between the ED and the community.
