Early detection of symptomatic cancer in primary care in Ireland: a protocol for a research prioritisation exercise.
Article in HRB open research, 2023. 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: Cancer is a significant cause of morbidity, mortality, and economic loss in Ireland. It is important that cancer research funding is directed in accordance with the values of a wide variety of stakeholders, so as to ultimately deliver tangible benefits to cancer patients. The aim of this study is to achieve consensus among key stakeholders (including patients, caregivers, healthcare professionals, policymakers and academics) regarding research priorities in the area of early detection of symptomatic cancer in primary care in Ireland. Methods: A research prioritisation exercise adapted from the James Lind Alliance (JLA) consensus framework will be used to enable all key stakeholders to identify and prioritise research questions. This involves the following stages: (1) setting up a steering group and priority setting partnership, (2) gathering potential research questions via an online survey, (3) processing, categorising, and summarising these research questions, (4) identifying the unanswered research questions, (5) determining the top 10 research priorities via a consensus workshop. Results: The following outcomes will be reported: (1) a "Top 10" list of the most important research questions in early detection of symptomatic cancer in primary care; (2) a list of unanswered research questions which ranked outside of the Top 10; (3) a list of research questions which were proposed but considered to be already answered by a panel of academics working in the field. Conclusions: The co-production of consensus derived research questions in early cancer detection will provide a platform for both funders and researchers to concentrate on the most significant issues to stakeholders, especially patients and their doctors.
