Investigation of the Role of Political Participation in Health: A Scoping Review.
Review in Health science reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background and Aims: Political participation in health is crucial for shaping health policies and ensuring community engagement in decision-making processes. This study explores the role of political participation in health by examining citizen science, political medicine, and other forms of public health involvement. Methods: This study was conducted as a scoping review based on the final framework (Peters et al.). The review process followed the JBI Manual for Evidence Synthesis and was reported in accordance with the PRISMA‑ScR checklist. A comprehensive search of PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, ProQuest, and Google Scholar was carried out on February 19, 2023, using the finalized search strategy. Two reviewers independently screened titles, abstracts, and full texts, with disagreements resolved through discussion. Data were extracted using a standardized form. The final results were categorized using the STEEP framework (social, technological, economic, environmental, political) and complemented by SWOT analysis. Results: Of the 972 records identified, 282 duplicates were removed, and 617 abstracts and titles were excluded. Following full-text screening, 58 studies were excluded, leaving 15 publications for analysis. The influence of various factors on political participation in health was assessed using STEEP and SWOT analysis. Findings indicate that fostering community health literacy, ensuring equitable access to political processes, and addressing socio-economic determinants can enable policymakers to develop more inclusive and effective health policies. Conclusion: Political participation plays a vital role in shaping health outcomes. Strengthening strategies that enhance community involvement in health decision-making is essential for achieving a more inclusive and equitable health system.
