Enhancing research culture through PhD training: a systems approach to identifying leverage points for policy formation.
Article in Wellcome open research, 2023. 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 article examines the role of PhD training programmes in identifying and implementing positive interventions in research culture in the biosciences. Using a data set consisting of transcripts from interviews and group discussions with 179 participants from 18 of the current 23 (78%) UK-based Wellcome-funded PhD programmes, we apply a systems theory methodology to the system of higher education and PhD training. Using system mapping as an investigative tool, this approach identifies points of leverage within the system where policy interventions might be best targeted to affect changes to research culture in the global higher education sector. The results of this investigation highlight the student-supervisor relationship as a nexus for these interventions and recommends the programme structure as a global policy for PhD training.
