"I want to see everything": A community-based participatory research framework to identify eye health and vision care knowledge, perceptions, values, and barriers.

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
Introduction: Vision impairment disproportionately affects individuals from low-income and African American communities, yet underutilization of preventive eye care persists. We conducted a community-based participatory research (CBPR) study to explore perceptions, values, and barriers related to vision care in an underserved urban neighborhood. Methods: In partnership with University Settlement, a trusted community center in Cleveland, Ohio, and a study-specific Community Advisory Board (CAB), we conducted semi-structured interviews with 60 adult residents of the Broadway-Slavic Village neighborhood. Thematic analysis identified key facilitators and barriers to accessing vision care. Results: Participants across racial groups described vision as highly important and often endorsed more frequent preventive eye care than they reported receiving. Barriers to eye care utilization included cost, inadequate insurance coverage, transportation challenges, fear of diagnosis, and limited awareness of preventive benefits. Distinct differences emerged in insurance type and visit frequency between African American and White participants despite comparable socioeconomic status. Participants identified community-specific solutions such as free or low-cost exams, mobile clinics, transportation support, and increased education. Conclusions: Our findings demonstrate that underutilization of eye care reflects structural and systemic barriers rather than lack of motivation. System-level interventions that integrate screenings into clinical and community settings, streamline referral pathways, and reduce logistical burdens are needed to facilitate equitable access to vision care. Embedding data collection in a trusted community setting surfaced perspectives from individuals who may be absent from clinic-based or online research and provides a model for translational research addressing health disparities.
