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

objectivesDespite sonography studies being integral to routine high quality antenatal care, clinical research in this field is less commonly initiated or led by sonography professionals. It is also unclear what the research priorities are for service users within the UK's sonography screening and diagnostic pathway.

methodsHere, we present a national priority setting partnership project, which included 2 surveys, coproduced with the oversight of a stakeholder priority setting partnerships (PSP) group, comprising service users and healthcare professionals, n = 12.

resultsFrom the surveys, there were 348 individual responses and 616 validated research questions/uncertainties submitted. The top-ranked 26 indicative questions were discussed at a final joint stakeholder meeting (n = 17) and the top 10 research priorities for pregnancy scanning research were voted for and agreed by consensus. These fell into 6 main themes: (1) maternal and parental experience; (2) emerging technology; (3) screening, prediction, and diagnosis, (4) role of pregnancy MRI, (5) continued professional development, training and education, and (6) service delivery and workforce.

conclusionsWe envisage this PSP will support teams of researchers and clinicians with important and achievable targets to move the field of pregnancy scanning forward. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: This is the first coproduced antenatal scanning priority setting partnership highlighting real world issues and lines of enquiry as proposed by service users and health care professionals.
