Article in Frontiers in 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
Health inequities disproportionality affects global majority patients, due to socio-economic disadvantage. This leads to poorer health outcomes, in terms of morbidity and mortality. Community based interventions are ways by which to improve the health of these underserved communities. AskMyDoc is a charity that was founded in 2011, with the aim to engage, educate and empower ethnic minority communities. This paper aims to highlight the work of the organisation, reflecting on the highlights and challenges of breaking down barriers to health for global majority patients. AskMyDoc has engaged through delivery of multiple talks and workshops in local community spaces, providing discussions in multiple languages. It contributed to health literacy during Covid-19, through creation of over 200 videos relating to Covid-19 and cancer screening awareness. Collaboration with charities and health organisations has been key to the success of the work, as has developing medical students and resident doctors through the work. AskMyDoc has demonstrated the positive impact of grassroots health promotion and advocacy. Despite challenges of a sustained volunteer workforce and funding restrictions, it demonstrates a path by which to better serve global majority patients in the United Kingdom.
