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

Introduction: The importance of research and development in all aspects of healthcare is well acknowledged. Within critical care, national guidelines provide a limited number of standards and series of recommendations on Research and Development (R&D) activity. The aim of this study was to create a broader set of standards in support of R&D activity in critical care departments. Methods: A modified Delphi study was undertaken across NHS Wales critical care units. Proposed standards were developed by a group of experts, which across three rounds, majority agreement was sought. Additional standards were added based on participant's responses. Results: This study identified 49 standards for R&D activity within critical care units in NHS Wales. All these standards reached majority agreement, as determined by >70% of multi-disciplinary participants determine each standard as essential. Conclusions: The results of this study will be utilised within Wales to inform wider service specification with regard workforce requirements, responsibilities, reporting and collaboration.
