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

Community engagement is considered essential in addressing community health problems. This paper details lessons learned from community engagement efforts implemented to reduce opioid overdose deaths in 9 Ohio communities participating in wave 2 of the HEALing (Helping to End Addiction Long-term) Communities Study (HCS). We describe community engagement strategies implemented during the wave 2 intervention period, including coalition-building, fostering community collaboration, prioritizing health equity and policy advocacy, stigma reduction education, and elevating voices of people with lived experience (PWLE). We provide reflections from the perspective of community engagement facilitators (CEFs) on how these strategies informed the implementation of evidence-based practices (EBPs) within communities. Our community engagement approaches and reflections highlight 3 key lessons for future community engagement efforts: 1) an intentional and constant focus on community collaboration is a necessary and essential ingredient for successful community engagement; 2) introducing opportunities to define and discuss equity within the local community can lead to recognition of subgroups for directed intervention; and 3) engaging PWLE can foster trust around stigmatizing issues.
