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

BACKGROUND & PURPOSE: Neurovascular research is underfunded, imposing substantial challenges on clinical researchers in the field of neurovascular diseases. We explored what physicians perceive to be the greatest challenges with regard to neurovascular research funding, and how they think the funding crisis in neurovascular research could be overcome.

methodsWe performed an international, multi-disciplinary survey among physicians involved in the medical care of patients with neurovascular diseases. After providing their demographic data, physicians were asked closed-ended questions on their personal opinion regarding challenges in neurovascular research funding, and how these challenges could be overcome. Physicians also described in their own words what they perceived to be the biggest challenges in obtaining funding. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and response clustering.

resultsOf 233 participating physicians (70.4% male,82.8% senior staff) from 48 countries, 217(97.4%) perceived the discrepancy between required and available funding to be a problem;172(73.8%) considered it a major problem. High competitiveness (61/118 available free text responses[51.7%]), time-consuming application processes (28/118[23.7%]) and administrative requirements (25/118[21.1%]) were identified as key obstacles. Traditional big funding agencies were perceived to be most capable of closing the neurovascular research funding gap, followed by specialty-specific organizations and industry, while philanthropy and crowdfunding were perceived to be less important.

conclusionThe gap between required and available funding was perceived to be a major problem in neurovascular research, with high competitiveness, time-consuming funding processes and excessive administrative requirements being the key obstacles to obtaining funding. Traditional funding agencies were perceived to be most capable of closing this funding gap.
