Establishing best practices guidelines for collaborative research in global surgery: developing a Delphi survey.
Article in Journal of global health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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: Collaborative research in global surgery has resulted in the rapid development of the field via knowledge creation and dissemination, research capacity building, and direct improvements in the delivery of clinical care. Yet the establishment and maintenance of trans-boundary collaborations carries significant risk to health systems, clinicians, patients, and researchers, particularly if such collaborations are not developed thoughtfully and with appropriate guardrails. In recent years, there has been significant growth in the literature on the pervasiveness and impact of neocolonialism on global health research. Methods: To harness the benefits of global surgery research collaboration while mitigating these risks, we reviewed the literature, collaboratively developed best practice statements, and iteratively refined these. Results: Eighty-one best practice statements were developed across six themes: establishing partnerships, managing power imbalances, addressing equity in funding, ensuring high ethical standards in Human Subjects Research, maintaining quality and rigor in scientific work, and long-term planning. Conclusions: These statements will form the basis of a Delphi process to establish a robust set of guidelines for best practice in collaborative global surgery research.
