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

objectivesTo promote medical device EU regulatory understanding in the biomedical research community and encourage greater levels of clinical engagement to further medical device research innovation, translation and effective clinical trials.

methodsAn interdisciplinary, iterative, needs-based design approach was used to develop medical device regulatory training, information and clinical expertise resources.

resultsA multimedia based self-paced e-Learning course focusing on the 'Fundamentals of Medical Device Design and Regulation' was produced in tandem with an interactive online web portal: Medtech Translate.

conclusionsHealth research translation relies on both clinical input and regulation to drive progress and to ensure quality and safety standards from concept development to clinical investigation. A lack of regulatory awareness and access to clinical expertise has the potential to significantly impact on health research translation and ambition for market. Our interdisciplinary academic-regulator-clinical-industry led approach meets the need for a coordinated stakeholder response to support innovation and promote growth in the medical technology sector.
