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

Gender inequality remains an intersectional determinant of health insufficiently addressed in programmes and policies. Progress requires systematic integration of gender perspectives but is constrained by the embeddedness of gender inequality across sectors, socioecological levels, and stakeholders. Participatory design approaches hold promise, but the role of participatory design partnerships in advancing gender equality remains underexplored. This scoping review explores what can be learned by examining gender and health programming undertaken within participatory partnerships in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Four electronic databases were searched for participatory design and implementation projects addressing an aspect of gender to improve health. Systematic screening resulted in 19 articles published between 2013 and 2023 representing
