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

backgroundResearch priority setting is a useful approach to decide which unanswered questions are most worth trying to solve through research. The aim is to reduce bias in the research agenda. Traditionally, research was decided by funders, policymakers, and academics with limited influence from other stakeholders like people living with health conditions, caregivers, or the community. This can lead to research gaps that fail to address these important stakeholder needs. The objective of this study is to identify the top research priorities for Rheumatic and Musculoskeletal Disease (RMD) research in Ireland.

methodsThe process framework included a design workshop, two online surveys and a review of the literature.

participants545 people completed the first survey to identify RMD research topics relevant to Ireland, of which 72% identified as a person living with RMD. 460 people completed the second survey to prioritise these research topics.

resultsThe first survey had 2185 research topics submitted. These were analysed and grouped into 38 topic areas which were ranked in the second survey. The top three research priorities for RMD research in Ireland focused on preventing RMD progression, RMD diagnosis and its impact, and pain management.

conclusionsThe prioritised research topics indicate important areas of RMD research for Ireland. Research funded in response to these co-created research priorities will have increased relevance and impact.
