COVID-19 interventional trials: Analysis of data sharing intentions during a time of pandemic.
Article in Contemporary clinical trials, 2022. 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
backgroundThis survey of COVID-19 interventional studies encompasses, and expands upon, a previous publication [1] examining individual participant level data (IPD) sharing intentions for COVID-related trials and publications prior to June 30, 2020.
methodsReplicating our inclusion criteria from the original survey, we evaluated a larger dataset of 2759 trials and 281 publications in this follow-up survey for willingness to share IPD and studied if sharing sentiment has evolved since the beginning of the pandemic.
resultsWe found that 18 months into the pandemic, data sharing intentions remained static at 15% for trials registered through ClinicalTrials.gov (ClinicalTrials.gov is a digital registry of information about publicly and privately funded clinical studies in which human volunteers participate in interventional or observational scientific research) prior to September 19, 2021 compared to our initial survey. However, a comparison of declared intentions to share IPD at the time of publication revealed a noticeable shift: affirmative intentions grew from 21.4% (6/28) in our original publications survey to 57% (160/281) in this survey. Within the subset of studies published within journals affiliated with the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE), positive sharing intentions are even higher (65%).
conclusionsAlthough intent to share data at the time of registration has not changed from our prior study in June 2020, there is growing commitment to sharing data reflected in the increasing number of affirmative declarations at the time of publication. Actual sharing of data will accelerate new insights into COVID-19 through secondary re-use of data.
