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

Globally, there has been an increasing call for dissemination and implementation science to improve the health equity of older adults. However, improving the health equity of older adults requires methods that allow for an in-depth understanding of the existing research. While the value of review articles is widely recognized, the value of publishing review protocols is an emerging paradigm with great potential to advance implementation science and aging research. In this article, we propose that prior to review articles, review protocols are necessary as they provide a clear and comprehensive search strategy, which greatly enhances the quality and rigor of reviews. More specifically, we argue that review protocols are indispensable because they support: (1) a clearly defined and comprehensive search methodology; (2) reviewer feedback to mitigate potential issues; and (3) registration to reduce risk of research replication. Additionally, we propose three strategies to accelerate review protocols in implementation science to support older adults' health equity.
