West African Bioethics Training Program: Raison D'être.
Review in African journal of medicine and medical sciences, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
There has been increase in the amount of research and services provided for diseases that are predominantly prevalent in developing countries. In addition, the amount of clinical trials conducted in developing countries for diseases in general and for those that contribute substantial proportions of the disease burden of the population has increased. Furthermore, interest in genomics and its potential for improving understanding of gene-environment-disease interactions and population history has drawn researchers to developing countries including Africa. These factors have highlighted the need for sound ethics training for researchers and members of ethics review committees. Increased training of bioethicists will enhance the contributions of developing countries bioethicists to the global research ethics discourse thereby enriching it. Such bioethicists will be able to drawn on their rich multicultural and multi-religious to inform discussions and issues. In this essay, I discuss the West African Bioethics Training, a United States National Institutes of Health supported training program for biomedical researchers and bioethicists in West Africa.
