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

backgroundThe Roadmap for Community Engagement (Roadmap) is a publicly online available resource co-designed with community partners that aims to support effective research engagement. The Roadmap is designed to be accessible and useful to a wide range of community members, public health practitioners, researchers, and community health advocates. The current study aimed to assess the Roadmap's perceived usefulness, relevance, and potential for implementation.

methodsData were collected over 12 months using a mixed methods design. Partner surveys, focus groups, and field notes were collected from biweekly academic-community partner collaboration sessions, two Roadmap content-review cycles, and a 2-day evaluation event with community partners. Data were analyzed separately and combined using a concurrent narrative format.

resultsAmong 90 community partners, 94% reported the Roadmap was useful, 92% anticipated strengthened connections, and 89% agreed it addressed organizational needs. Qualitative themes highlighted accessibility, adaptability, and feasibility for sustaining partnerships as strengths of the Roadmap. Potential challenges included language access, limited infrastructure to implement the Roadmap, financial and time constraints.

conclusionsThe Roadmap is a rigorously co-developed, adaptable toolkit that can support equitable research partnerships. Findings justify formal effectiveness testing and implementation studies on scalability across settings to advance health equity.
