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

Analyzing data by geopolitical districts, like congressional districts, is increasing in popularity in public health monitoring and evaluation but remains relatively rare compared to geographies such as census tracts and counties. In this study, we use city council districts in the City of Philadelphia to illustrate the utility and importance of investigating public health metrics by local political districts. We report on two metrics-tree canopy coverage and health insurance coverage-by city council district and census tract. We discuss the variation within and between districts to show heterogeneity across the city. Lastly, we discuss ways that data can be made accessible to the public through an online dashboard to support advocacy with local politicians.
