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

The annual Canadian Conference on Global Health (CCGH) provides a platform for global health professionals and students from various sectors and disciplines to share knowledge and innovations in research, policy, and practice. However, known barriers disproportionately faced by participants from the Global South (PGS) often result in a lower representation, attendance, and participation of PGS in conferences such as the CCGH. Recognizing these barriers and to promote greater conference equity, the Canadian Association for Global Health (CAGH) with funding from the International Development Research Centre created a scholarship programme for PGS to provide full and partial funding to attend the CCGH. This paper details the six-step process used for the creation of the PGS scholarship criteria, as well as considerations for selecting recipients, methods for scoring applications, and processes for distributing the scholarships. The criteria and rubric designed provides a foundation for a reproducible resource that can be scaled up for other international conferences and can be applied to other groups underrepresented in conference settings.
