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

Background: The Global Cardiovascular Research Funders Forum (GCRFF) unites international research funders interested in supporting cardiovascular disease (CVD) research. One focus area is women's cardiovascular health; the present study aimed to identify priority themes for future joint research funding opportunities. Methods: After ethics approval, a survey was developed based on literature review, GCRFF feedback, and input from methodologists/content experts. The survey comprised 3 open-ended and 5 multiple-choice questions. With the use of widespread dissemination strategies, an electronic survey portal was opened for 8 weeks, from November 15, 2023, to January 15, 2024, with various language options. Results were downloaded into a secure REDCap database for analysis. Independent theming of responses was completed by 3 reviewers until coding consensus was achieved, following which 1 coder completed the remaining theming. Descriptive statistics are reported. Results: Among the 191 responses, all 9 GCRFF countries were represented. Most respondents identified as women (74%) and clinicians/academics (77%); fewer people with lived or living experience participated (23%). Common themes included women-specific risk factors and prevention strategies (56%), life-course issues (43%), and sex- and gender-specific treatments and outcomes (36%). Common topics were CVD (66%), coronary artery disease (CAD) (18%), and heart disease (13%). Designated research pillars included clinical (52%), population health (36%), and basic science (30%). Solutions proposed included knowledge generation (71%), increased funding (55%), networking researchers (52%), and knowledge mobilisation (41%). Congruence of priority ordering was demonstrated between sex and respondent residence subgroups. Conclusion: Diverse international input prioritised research in risk factors and prevention strategies specific to women and in sex- and gender-specific treatment and outcomes of heart disease, with considerations of life-course issues across all research pillars.
