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

This article provides a summative program evaluation to describe the development, implementation, and outcomes of a grassroots Black liberation and anti-racism initiative, Academics for Black Survival and Wellness. The initiative was founded by Dr. Pearis Jean (formerly Bellamy; graduate student at the time) and Dr. Della V. Mosley (an assistant professor at the time) in response to the events of 2020. The authors used a general inductive approach to analyze archival data from the initiative to identify the program outcomes. Academics for Black Survival and Wellness had two primary program outcomes which were (a) increased wellness resources for Black academics and (b) the use of scholar-activism in support of Black survival and wellness. The authors also reflect on how the organizers maintained the integrity and priorities of the initiative. Recommendations are provided for how grassroots organizing and scholar-activism can be used to support the wellness of Black people and the mobilization of anti-racist allies when oppressive systems are slow or unwilling to change.
