Barriers and Facilitators to Conducting Oncology Clinical Trials in the UAE.
Review in Clinics and practice, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Cancer research and clinical trials are essential to improve cancer patients' outcomes and advance the oncology field. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has been lagging in cancer research with many barriers, including healthcare, institutional, regulatory, patient and community, the global oncology community, and the pharmaceutical industry. In this report, we try to address these challenges from our perspective. Making clinical trials accessible for cancer patients in the UAE requires a collaborative approach from all stakeholders and serious consideration for the greater cause to improve the patient's outcome and contribute to the advancement of the cancer field worldwide. There has been significant support from the UAE government and the regulators in the UAE to facilitate and encourage research in general and cancer research in particular with recent initiatives and international collaborations. Private and public institutions must overcome their competitive moods and work together to strengthen the research network across the UAE and improve accrual for potential clinical trials. Public awareness and education must overcome long-standing perceptions about research and clinical trials in the UAE. The pharmaceutical industry must work closely with institutions across the UAE and support them in establishing accredited research programs and clinical trial units. The Emirates Oncology Society is establishing the Oncology Research Working Group to advocate and advance cancer research in the UAE. All stakeholders must be engaged to successfully implement impactful clinical trials in the UAE and the region.
