Community Coalition Building and Human-Centered Design Strategies to Advance Homeless Health Systems: A Case Study from Rural North Carolina.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 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
In Burke County, North Carolina, a Hepatitis A outbreak among unsheltered residents exposed gaps in access to clinic-based care and prompted early, ad hoc "backpack medicine" outreach efforts to deliver care directly in nontraditional settings. While this approach addressed immediate needs, it highlighted the inadequacy of isolated interventions, prompting local partners to pursue more structured, coordinated, and community-driven approaches to homeless health system design. This project report describes how Burke County Public Health, in partnership with the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, applied systems thinking, community coalition building, and human-centered design to transition from reactive outreach to a structured, sustainable mobile health delivery model for people experiencing homelessness. Guided by Community Coalition Action Theory (CCAT), partners used human-centered design methods to engage over 40 community stakeholders and 10 individuals with lived experience of homelessness or housing instability. Through empathy mapping, iterative prototyping, and thematic analysis, the team identified priority service gaps, defined operational requirements, and developed prototype service models, while building cross-agency readiness for implementation.
