Training Africans to Lead and Execute Neurological Trials and Studies (TALENTS): program overview and rationale.
Article in Equity neuroscience, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Africa bears a disproportionate burden of neurological diseases, yet clinical trials and research often lack representation from African populations, hindering the development of precision medicine for people of African ancestry. The Training Africans to Lead and Execute Neurological Trials and Studies (TALENTS) program, a Fogarty International Research Training D-43 initiative, aims to build sustainable neurological research capacity in Africa through a 5-year partnership between U.S. institutions, the University of Ibadan, and the African Academy of Neurology (AFAN). TALENTS recruits and trains 20 multidisciplinary African scholars post-doctoral researchers and clinicians in clinical neuroscience research, including trial design, multi-omics, and grant writing. Scholars complete an online Certificate in Clinical Research from the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC), with four advancing to a Master's degree, preparing them as faculty for a new Master's in Neurological Research at the University of Ibadan. The program enhances mentorship and networking via AFAN meetings, peer mentoring, and monthly think tanks, fostering academic career development. Evaluation tracks scholars' academic positions, publications, and funding success. As of February 2025, 15 scholars across three cohorts have progressed, with notable career advancements, including faculty appointments and initiation of PhD study. TALENTS leverages Africa's diverse population and endemic neurological conditions to address global health disparities, aiming to produce a cadre of independent investigators contributing to neurological research and mentorship in Africa, with broader implications for African American health.
