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

backgroundNonprofit organizations that serve the pediatric oncology community play a crucial role in disseminating quality information that can inform and support people living with childhood cancer, those that work in the field, and others who make key decisions or policies. These registered organizations can be challenging to locate, as the internet is flux with information and resources of varying quality, misinformation, and disinformation. There remains limited understanding of the knowledge mobilization landscape of these organizations in Canada.

objectiveThis study will provide an overview of the pediatric oncology nonprofit organizational landscape and describe their knowledge mobilization efforts related to dissemination, highlighting existing strengths, gaps, and novel opportunities to strengthen and unite efforts.

methodsA novel environmental scan methodology will be employed to search government and nonprofit organizations' databases. Independent reviewers will screen the websites of eligible organizations. Extracted data will be descriptively analyzed, geographically sorted, and presented in a tabular form with accompanying narrative.

resultsThis project received funding in 2024. We anticipate that preliminary results will be available by summer 2025. The search strategy for this study will be completed in the spring of 2025. One key project milestone for this environmental scan includes sharing drafts of the results from this strategy through expert consultations in the spring of 2025. After this milestone, a full set of preliminary results will be available by summer 2025, and the final manuscript will be submitted in fall 2025.

conclusionsThe environmental scan will explicate each step of our method to allow others the opportunity to garner understanding from our learnings. Findings will be disseminated to the broader community via social media, directly to the pediatric oncology network in Canada, and globally, through summaries, infographics, presentations, and traditional academic outputs. By doing so, the pediatric oncology community will have information pertinent to navigating these resources, and further steps can be devised to bolster the knowledge mobilization capacity in Canada.
