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

backgroundSince August 2018, Irish health research is regulated by the European General Data Protection Act (GDPR) 2016 with the (Irish) Data Protection Act and Health Research Regulations (HRR) 2018. The Irish application of GDPR has been criticised by consultants and academics as overly restrictive; however, Non-consultant Hospital Doctor's (NCHD's) perspectives have not been explored. OBJECTIVES/

aimsThis project aimed to collect the views of NCHDs in Ireland in relation to health research and the impact of GDPR and HRR. Internationally barriers to engagement with health research have been identified; however, to our knowledge, no previous studies have been conducted in Ireland.

methodsAgreeable Irish specialty colleges and faculties distributed an online survey to their NCHDs. Social media platforms were also used to promote the survey. All data collected was anonymised.

resultsA total of 192 NCHDs completed the survey; respondents included doctors from 13 specialties, with representation from each NCHD grade. Ninety-nine percent had previously participated in research, and 87% acknowledged the importance for doctors to be involved in research. Forty-four percent of NCHDs stated they would consider travelling abroad to complete research. Eighty-six percent agreed training relating to the new regulations would be useful; however, only 25% had received training.

conclusionsOur results confirm that NCHDs in Ireland are enthusiastic about engaging in research. The majority acknowledge the value of research in career development. Engaging in research abroad could be further explored as a factor impacting emigration. Our findings show that NCHDs in Ireland are concerned about the impact of GDPR and HRR and are seeking further training.
