To parachute or not.
Article in Ecancermedicalscience, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
This editorial was prompted by a criticism of our inability to identify all existing local oncologic human resources prior to the initiation of a women's cancer care platform in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. We discuss the act of parachuting, i.e., intermittent visits by investigators from high-income countries to low-and middle-income countries, its dichotomization (positive and negative), role in bilateral collaborations between high-income and low-and middle-income countries, contributing etiologies and potential harms. Lastly, we highlight our use of parachuting to successfully transfer breast and cervical cancer diagnostic and surgical skills to healthcare providers in a low-income African nation, while simultaneously building clinical infrastructure for women's cancers. We conclude with recommendations that pertain to the development of better research ecosystems in Africa.
