Exploring supportive roles for global north investigators in global health research.
Article in PLOS global public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Many academics are increasingly pushing for solutions to address inequitable partnership dynamics in global health research and practice. Efforts to improve equity in collaborations have prompted academic institutions to grapple with promotion and tenure criteria (usually Global North institutions), as these criteria often require leadership on grants, publications, and conference presentations for advancement. From inequitable funding opportunities to the invisibilization of Global South researchers, these components are rooted in normalizing and upholding unequal power dynamics. Therefore, the purpose of this project was to explore ways in which Global North academic institutions can value supportive roles taken by their investigators in global health research. A special session was held at the 2022, Consortium of Universities for Global Health (CUGH) meeting, entitled "Incorporating Anti-Racism, Anti-Colonialism, and Anti-Oppression Efforts into Faculty Promotion." The purpose of the workshop was to assess current practices that participants' institutions incorporated in promoting anti-racist, anti-colonialist, and anti-oppression efforts within their faculty promotion practices as well as to brainstorm future solutions. A qualitative analysis of the discussion transcripts yielded several themes, including (1) making structural changes to the promotion process, (2) incorporating anti-racism/anti-colonialism perspectives into promotion packets, (3) recalibrating agenda setting and collaboration in Global North-South partnerships, (4) assuring strong mentorship for assembly of the promotion packet, and (5) developing effective capacity strengthening efforts. Given these results, we call upon the global health academic community to implement these suggestions in their policies and practices.
