Examining the strategic utilization of Community-Academic Partnerships as a research engagement method in clinical and public health research within urban settings: a qualitative analysis.

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
backgroundCommunity-Academic Partnerships (CAPs) are a promising method for enhancing research engagement among communities of interest, including key populations in clinical and public health research. Expanding the evidence base on utilizing CAPs in clinical and public health research can strengthen the clinical research enterprise, contributing to optimal recruitment outcomes. This study explored CAPs as a research method to engage both partners and patients who were involved in a clinical trial focused on maternal and child health, public health research.
methodsUsing a reflexive thematic analysis, in-depth, semi-structured interviews (N = 15) with community collaborators from urban settings, were analyzed through NVivo software. Interviews focused on key components of CAPs, including their structure, characteristics, and factors contributing to clinical and public health research engagement. A five-step process for the thematic analysis supported emergent high-level themes and interpretation of patterns.
findingsThe reflexive thematic analysis generated five themes about CAPs as a research engagement method including: (1) Leveraging existing community systems, (2) Cultivating community-oriented research spaces, (3) Recognizing the community as a shared stakeholder, (4) Ensuring a community-aligned research team, and (5) Practicing authentic engagement.
conclusionCAPs prioritized community values and interests that reflected community knowledge and systems, thereby creating research pipelines for partners and patients. Findings suggest that CAPs can be a tool for research engagement in clinical and public health research, which can inform best practices in research design and investigators' approaches.
