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

objectiveTo propose an agenda of COVID-19 and long COVID research priorities, in order to guide government and research funding agencies to optimize health science, technology and innovation resources in Brazil.

methodsThis is a qualitative study, carried out in two stages, between April 2022 and March 2023. In the first stage, a broad consultation was carried out to identify research priorities according to the axes of the COVID-19 Evidence Network to support Decision-making initiative, with 71 participants including researchers, health service managers, health science and technology managers, health professionals and health service users. In the second stage, a consensus was reached on the priorities proposed in the previous stage, using the Delphi method, with a panel of 20 experts on COVID-19 in the first round and 18 in the second round.

resultsIn the broad consultation, 186 priority lines of research on COVID-19 were received and consolidated into 161 research lines. Of these, 139 achieved consensus in the first round of the Delphi method, and a further 40 lines were received and included in the second round for consensus. The proposed agenda has 179 research lines on COVID-19. The predominant themes were evaluation, COVID-19 impact and sequelae, long COVID-19, mental illnesses and immunosuppression. The child population was of greatest interest.

conclusionsThis study demonstrated high levels of agreement among participants on COVID-19 and long COVID research priorities in Brazil.
