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

Introduction: Resource extraction poses a substantial environmental justice problem globally. Community-based efforts to increase environmental health literacy have been linked with reducing exposure and increasing positive health outcomes. However, there is a gap in community-based environmental justice work centering around the education and needs of youth in rural communities. Methods: Using frameworks of environmental health literacy, an Ecological Model of Health, and Funds of Knowledge, we facilitated the ongoing STEAM in Action project, where we hosted two community-based youth environmental health trainings in environmental justice communities in rural Arizona. Photovoice, poster activities, environmental monitoring, data visualization, participant observation, pre- and post-surveys, focus groups, and follow-up interviews were quantitatively and qualitatively analyzed to understand youth environmental health literacy, concerns, and capacity for action. Results: Survey results indicated that 83% ( Discussion: Trainings through the "STEAM in Action" project allowed youth to surface taboo issues in their towns, while building the knowledge and skills to understand and address environmental justice issues in their communities. Future work will build out advisory boards, critical consciousness, and environmental justice trainings in service of collective action to affect community change.
