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

objectiveTo partner with healthcare professionals and other stakeholders to identify top 10 research priorities within universal child and adolescent health promotion and disease preventive services.

designThe study used an adapted James Lind Alliance (JLA) approach. This included a priority setting partnership within the field of municipal health promotion and preventive services for children and adolescents, the gathering of research needs as reported by a national sample of healthcare professionals and other stakeholders and the sorting, evidence checking and final prioritisation of two top 10 lists corresponding with the two municipal service areas: (1) pregnancy care and child health centres 0-5 years and (2) school health service and youth health centres. The research needs were collected using an online survey asking: 'In your opinion, what should scientific communities in Norway conduct research on to enhance child and adolescent health promotion and preventive services?'. Suggested needs framed as topics were sorted and categorised in Microsoft Excel. The digital survey Nettskjema was applied for final prioritisation by voting.

settingMunicipal child and adolescent health promotion and disease prevention services in Norway.

participantsAltogether, 1141 healthcare professionals and other stakeholders (government administrators and university staff).

resultThe participants submitted a total of 1780 research needs. Following the steps of the JLA priority setting process, the two final top 10 lists were generated. The lists include research priorities relating to, for example, health literacy, mental health promotion, counselling and teaching, follow-up of children and families in vulnerable positions and interdisciplinary collaboration.

conclusionResearch priorities for child and adolescent health promotion and preventive services were identified through structured user involvement of healthcare professionals and other stakeholders using the JLA framework. The two lists address key knowledge gaps and reflect current societal and professional challenges. The findings can enhance research relevance, foster collaboration and guide research and research funding.
