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

Indicators measuring the progress of safety and peace have been pursued at a macro (global) and meso level (community). While global indicators focus on the country-level indicators, it does not consider the community-level contextually relevant needs of the indicators. While the global indicators present a general framework to measure safety and peace, these constructs are dynamic and fluid, and thus understood differently within and across countries, provinces and communities. Drawing on data collected through community participatory processes, this study aims to compare existing global indicators with community-level indicators of peace and safety and to evaluate the usefulness of these global indicators for measuring peace and safety at the community level. This study forms part of a larger study the Community Safety And Peace Index (CSPI) that aimed to develop a contextually and psychometrically valid and reliable instrument to assess, monitor and promote safety and peace at the community level. Contribution: The analysis of the data revealed several dimensions of safety and peace, including physical (dis)order, social (dis)order, community cohesion, structural security, social justice, affective and interpersonal relationships, crime and violence and values.
