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

Introduction: Children and families from historically marginalized ethnic/racial backgrounds have low participation in clinical trials and pediatric practice staff perspectives on this topic are underexplored. Methods: We conducted interviews (n = 20) with pediatric practice staff and used rapid template analysis to identify themes and sub-themes. Results: We identified several primary themes related to strategies that both research staff and pediatric practice staff can use in order to support the recruitment of historically marginalized populations into research. For example, researchers can facilitate running reports within practices to identify potential trial participants with limited access to care and pediatric providers can offer research opportunities at well visits noting potential benefits of research and directly discuss mistrust in research. Discussion: While the dynamics involved in the recruitment of historically marginalized children and families into trials are inherently complex, we identified several concrete strategies to support this work and increase diversity in pediatric clinical trials.
