National stakeholders' consensus to optimise research awareness through mandatory induction training using the Nominal Group Technique: the INTRO project.
Article in BMC health services research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundResearch provides the agency for step-change and improvement in health care. Research is, however, often viewed as disconnected from, or irrelevant to, everyday healthcare delivery. Mandatory induction training for new healthcare staff offers a means to increase research awareness and promote wider integration of research in practice.
methodThis study reports findings from an adapted version of the Nominal Group Technique, as the initial planning stage of a quality improvement project. The aim was to identify recommendations for raising research awareness within mandatory corporate, clinical, and local induction. Nationwide stakeholders representing patients and professional groups from numerous organisations were invited to participate in three online consultations workshops, during which suggestions for mandatory induction training were generated and distilled.
resultsSixty-seven stakeholders from 37 tertiary, community, and mental health organisations in England participated in the workshops. Of the initial 307 candidate items proposed, 20 (6.3%) achieved consensus. Core recommendations included: (i) concise, bite-sized, high-quality videos for mandatory corporate induction; (ii) a blend of resources (PowerPoint templates, interactive online modules, signposting websites) for mandatory clinical and local inductions; (iii) clear delineation between research and quality improvement projects; and (iv) recommendations about delivery responsibility and governance.
conclusionRecommendations developed from the final 20 candidate items provide a coherent framework for raising research awareness in mandatory induction training. They are designed to be integrated into mandatory induction, promoting staff-awareness and, ultimately, contributing to the advancement of research and improving patient outcomes. Further work is in progress to implement and evaluate these recommendations, as part of a Plan-Do-Study-Act quality improvement cycle.
