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

Objectives: Immigrant and sexually/gender-diverse women (henceforth, women) face inequities in access to and quality of care. As a result, many seek health information from community agencies perceived as culturally safe. We aimed to generate knowledge on capacity needed for culturally safe community agency health promotion. Design: Theoretical rapid review. Data sources: Studies identified in MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Sociological Abstracts, Cochrane Library and the Joanna Briggs Institute Database of Systematic Reviews. Eligibility criteria: Studies published in 2013 or later on health promotion for ethnoculturally, sexually and gender-diverse women led by community agencies (eg, settlement, cultural, support and faith). Data extraction/synthesis: We extracted data on study characteristics, cultural tailoring, implementation with the Reach Effectiveness Adoption Implementation framework and health promotion capacity with the New South Wales framework. Results: We included 19 studies published from 2017 to 2023. Most focused on health promotion to African or Latin American persons in faith-based organisations. Few studies focused solely on women, and no studies focused on or included 2SLGBTQ women. Few studies described cultural tailoring beyond the use of participants' first language. Training of community health workers (CHWs) to deliver health promotion education, and CHW in-person group training of health promotion participants on a wide range of topics resulted in improved knowledge, self-efficacy, intention to modify behaviour, behaviour change and health outcomes. A few studies yielded some insight into what community agencies need to enable health promotion: dedicated funding and personnel, training in healthcare issues, space and partnerships with academic and healthcare organisations. Conclusions: This study confirmed and enhanced our understanding of the health promotion role of community agencies and identified gaps that can inform future research on how to achieve culturally safe community agency health promotion for diverse women.
