Article in Health expectations : an international journal of public participation in health care and health policy, 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
introductionAcademic research projects that are oriented toward social and environmental justice have long recognized that participant compensation is part of reciprocal, just, community-engaged relationships. Participant compensation acknowledges and accounts for people's expertise, skills, time and effort associated with contributing to research outcomes. However, a combination of institutional barriers and researcher hesitancy often limits the types of compensation used by research teams, and thus received by research participants. In keeping with best practices for research that engages with marginalized communities, this study considers the importance of direct unconditional cash compensation for people with lived expertise of homelessness.
methodsThis research presents the results of semi-structured interviews, group dialogues, and public presentations from people with lived experience of homelessness.
resultsOur findings demonstrate (a) the epistemological and practical benefits that research participants receive from direct cash transfers, and (b) the institutional and moralistic barriers associated with direct cash transfers. DISCUSSION: We conclude with a series of practical recommendations for researchers looking to incorporate this prioritization of justice-focused compensation into their research projects. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: People with lived experience of homelessness were collaborators, researchers and participants in this research, and were thoroughly involved in all parts of the research process, from ideation and study design to analysis and manuscript preparation.
