Generating Global Priority for Addressing Rheumatic Heart Disease: A Qualitative Policy Analysis.
Review in Journal of the American Heart Association, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 24 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
Background Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) poses a high burden in low-income countries, as well as among indigenous and other socioeconomically disadvantaged populations in high-income countries. Despite its severity and preventability, RHD receives insufficient global attention and resources. We conducted a qualitative policy analysis to investigate the reasons for recent growth but ongoing inadequacy in global priority for addressing RHD. Methods and Results Drawing on social science scholarship, we conducted a thematic analysis, triangulating among peer-reviewed literature, organizational documents, and 20 semistructured interviews with individuals involved in RHD research, clinical practice, and advocacy. The analysis indicates that RHD proponents face 3 linked challenges, all shaped by the nature of the issue. With respect to
