Changing the trajectories of mental health difficulties in Norfolk and Suffolk: a research-priority-setting project with patients, the public, clinicians, policymakers and other stakeholders-study protocol.
Article in BMJ open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionMental health problems are the most significant cause of disability and have high annual economic costs; hence, they are a priority for the government, service providers and policymakers. Consisting of largely coastal and rural communities, the populations of Norfolk and Suffolk, UK, have elevated burdens of mental health problems, areas with high levels of deprivation and an increasing migrant population. However, these communities are underserved by research and areas with the greatest mental health needs are not represented or engaged in research. This National Institute of Health and Care Research-funded project aims to bring together key stakeholders to conduct extensive scoping work to identify mental health needs and priorities as a basis for conducting larger research to address the identified priorities over the next 5 years. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This 12-month mixed-methods research-priority-setting project consists of five phases. It is being conducted in Norfolk and Suffolk counties in the East of England, UK. Underpinned by Delphi methodology, it will adopt the James Lind Alliance approach to identify priorities for mental health research for the populations of Norfolk and Suffolk. The project will use multiple methods, including mapping and identification of stakeholders, online questionnaires, face-to-face focus groups and interviews, and consensus meetings with experts and mental health stakeholders. Key evidence-informed priorities will be collaboratively ranked and documented, and a final top 10 research priorities will be identified to inform future research, policy and service provision. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: This study was approved by the University of East Anglia's Faculty of Medicine and Health Research Ethics Committee (reference: ETH2324-2542), Norwich, UK. Research findings will be disseminated through workshops with stakeholders and collaborators and via peer-reviewed scientific publications, presentations at academic societies, blogs and social media.
