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 Ottawa Hospital-one of Canada's largest academic health sciences centres-and its research arm, the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute, undertook a comprehensive review of the hospital's clinical research ecosystem in 2022 to identify systemic challenges and opportunities to better integrate clinical research within hospital operations and patient care. Interest holders were engaged through qualitative interviews and pre- and post-review quantitative surveys. Barriers identified included limited funding access, lack of protected research time, fragmented technology infrastructure, inconsistent support for non-physician researchers, and limited access to patients for research purposes. Findings informed an action plan comprising over 30 initiatives under four strategic goals: strengthening infrastructure, building capacity and culture, enhancing patient access to research opportunities, and streamlining governance. Progress was evaluated by the 2025 post-review survey data. This performance improvement project offers a replicable roadmap and framework for healthcare and research centres seeking to build a supportive, collaborative, and patient-centred research environment.
