Rapid Group Analysis Process (Rap-GAP): A Novel Approach to Expedite Qualitative Health Research Data Analysis.
Article in International journal of qualitative methods. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
To contribute to healthcare improvements, qualitative health research must adapt to the demanding pace of constantly changing healthcare practices and policies. To meet this challenge, researchers need methods for rigorous and rapid data analysis. This article introduces the Rapid Group Analysis Process (Rap-GAP), a new approach for rapid qualitative data analysis. This method is more efficient than other rapid qualitative analysis methods. It allows for the direct involvement of diverse participants in the analysis process, including patients or healthcare decision-makers with limited qualitative research experience, while keeping the analysis grounded in the primary data (e.g., transcripts). These attributes make Rap-GAP a unique and valuable alternative to traditional qualitative analysis. This article describes the 5-step Rap-GAP process and 3 case studies that demonstrate how to use the method and adapt it for different analytical goals. Future research will evaluate and describe the outcomes of Rap-GAP compared to traditional qualitative analysis.
