The RCS England COVID-19 Surgical Research Group: early findings and lessons to influence surgical practice.
Article in Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
introductionSurgeons and allied professionals have been quick to respond to the need for evidence during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Royal College of Surgeons of England (RCS England) has provided formal recognition, support and guidance to all members of its interdisciplinary collaborative COVID Research Group (RCS CRG). We describe research conducted by members of this group, initial findings and lessons for clinical practice so far.
methodsMembers of the more than 50 projects included so far in the RCS CRG portfolio were invited to provide a summary of their project and findings to date. The 26 summaries received were collated and broad themes identified to produce this summary document.
resultsWide-ranging projects have been conducted by members of the RCS CRG, rapidly yielding crucial insights into the behaviour of the SARS-CoV-2 pathogen, its impact on patients and staff, the challenges it presents to surgical practice and investigation into methods to adapt and overcome such challenges.
conclusionsThe response of the surgical research community to COVID-19 has been rapid and well-organised. Early establishment of a formal network under the auspices of RCS England has assisted efficient research collaboration and delivery, while avoiding academic duplication between groups. This has led to a high research output, directly informing and substantially influencing practice throughout and beyond the pandemic.
