Developing a Data Note reporting guideline for qualitative health and social care research datasets (the DeNOTE study): A study protocol.
Article in Health psychology and behavioral medicine, 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
Background: Data Note articles describe openly available research datasets. They detail how and why the data were created, with the aim of increasing research transparency and facilitating data reuse. However, existing guidelines and templates for Data Note articles have been designed for quantitative research datasets and are unsuitable for qualitative research datasets. As qualitative health and social care datasets have unique sensitivities, they must be treated and reported differently to quantitative datasets. Aim: To describe the protocol for developing a novel reporting guideline for Data Note articles describing qualitative health and social care datasets (i.e. the DeNOTE reporting guideline). Methods: The DeNOTE study includes (i) a rapid scoping exercise of existing documents and expert knowledge to identify and synthesise relevant reporting 'items' or 'statements' for a Data Note article describing qualitative health and social care data, (ii) an online questionnaire with expert participants to rate their agreement with items identified in (i) and to propose new or amended items, (iii) an online workshop with participants to co-develop the reporting items and reach consensus, (iv) eliciting participant feedback on the draft reporting guideline, and (v) finalising the guideline. Conclusion: Our plans to develop the DeNOTE reporting guideline are registered on the EQUATOR (Enhancing the QUAlity and Transparency Of health Research) Network. The guideline will support researchers producing Data Note articles describing qualitative health and social care data. We will create a tailored resource to address the needs of qualitative researchers to facilitate transparency and to support data reuse.
