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

Low and middle-income countries (LMICs) in Eastern Europe are attractive to global companies as sites for clinical trials, but there are gaps in research oversight and limited in-country expertise in research ethics, raising concerns that research participants may be at risk of exploitation and harm. Three NIH Fogarty International Center-funded research ethics training programs in Eastern Europe address these gaps, developed by partnerships between: the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (ISMMS) in New York and the Medical Faculty at the University of Belgrade in Serbia; ISMMS and the Iuliu Haţieganu University of Medicine and Pharmacy in Cluj-Napoca, Romania; and Ukrainian Catholic University in Lviv, Ukraine, and Loyola University Chicago. Here we provide an overview of the health systems and research activity in the region as well as the rationales, aims, accomplishments, and future needs of these Master's (Serbia and Romania) and doctoral-level (Ukraine) research ethics training programs.
