The Canadian Consortium for Research in Pediatric Surgery: Roadmap for Creation and Implementation of a National Subspecialty Research Consortium.
Article in Journal of the American College of Surgeons, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Clinical practice should be driven by high-quality research that produces evidence to inform best practices. Generation of such evidence is often challenging, particularly for smaller specialties, such as pediatric surgery, that treat many patients with rare diseases. Multi-institutional collaboration is seen as a major strategy to address these challenges. We have recently created the Canadian Consortium for Research in Pediatric Surgery, a national consortium that includes all major pediatric surgical services across Canada. The mission of the Consortium is to improve pediatric surgical care through high-quality collaborative research. In this article, we describe the rationale and methodology for creation of the Canadian Consortium for Research in Pediatric Surgery, demonstrate its achievements to date, and share a number of foundational concepts that are integral to its success. Our aim is to provide a model for creation of such consortia, ultimately leading to improvements in the quality of clinical research and patient care.
