Starting Up Clinical Trials in Emergency Medicine: Advice and Acronyms for New Investigators.
Article in Journal of the American College of Emergency Physicians open, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Well-conducted clinical trials are essential to developing our evidence base for medical care. However, the regulatory guidelines and differing operations surrounding clinical trials can be daunting and difficult for new investigators. New investigators often find themselves trying to learn clinical trial management on the go, as this aspect of research is not routinely taught in medical school or residency. To address this problem, this article explains clinical trial startup, including the regulatory and operational aspects of investigator-initiated trials, multicenter trials, and different funding sources (government, foundation, and industry). We also include tables of over 30 common acronyms used in clinical trial operations and discuss common research infrastructure and protocols. The goal of this article is to collate study startup knowledge and materials in one place to build the emergency medicine pipeline of clinical trialists and researchers.
