Setting research priorities for cancer in India: Findings from a CHNRI exercise by ICMR & AIIMS-NCI.

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 & objectives With limited funding and vast array of research ideas, setting priorities becomes essential to ensure effective and efficient use of resources. This study aims to systematically identify key research questions in cancer through stakeholder engagement using the Child Health and Nutrition Research Initiative method which is a new concept in the Indian context. Methods The Indian Council of Medical Research held a research priority-setting exercise on May 7-8, 2024 at All India Institute of Medical Sciences-National Cancer Institute, Jhajjar, Haryana, engaging 84 participants across India using CHNRI methodology. Experts were divided into four thematic groups. In Step I, each group proposed research questions, which were scored based on five predefined criteria (answerability, efficacy, relevance, deliverability, equity) and arranged in descending order. In Step II, the highest-scoring questions were further validated through full-house voting. Questions receiving a consensus of more than two-third were finalised as priorities. Results In Step I, 99 questions were generated which covered descriptive (n=10), development (n=65), discovery (n=14), and delivery research (n=10). Development group questions were subcategorised as Technologies (diagnostics/devices/digital) (n=17), Therapeutics (n=16), Prevention and screening (n=20), and Palliative care and survivorship (n=12). During validation (Step II), 36 questions across all domains received >66 per cent scores, resulting in research priorities. Interpretation & conclusions The priority setting exercise helped in short listing research questions in area of cancer in India and provided actionable guidance to policymakers and funders enabling appropriate usage of limited funds.
