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

Background: Research Impact Assessment (RIA) is complex and still in the process of being defined. The most appropriate RIA framework should be selected and adapted according to the context and the specific purpose.The real challenge is experimenting with RIA and sharing the findings with the scientific community.Italy has a National Health System in which the Regions are granted with significant legislative authority in the healthcare sector.The Piedmont Region has a healthcare system based on 12 Local Health Authorities (LHA) and six autonomous public hospitals.The Piedmont Region has entrusted DAIRI (Department of Integrative Activities for Research and Innovation), an interinstitutional department of the Alessandria LHA and Alessandria Hospital, with the task of monitoring regional health research. Aims: This study aims to identify an RIA framework that can be applied to health research organisations in Alessandria Province and subsequently at the regional level.We aim to disseminate the results of these evaluations to contribute to the advancement of RIA within the scientific community and initiate a continuous RIA process. Methods: We approached the study in two phases. First, a literature review to identify a range of frameworks suitable for our context; second, a focus group to determine the most appropriate framework from this pool. Findings discussion and conclusion: Since adopting an existing framework requires tailoring it to the specific needs of the research organisation, we decided to select the framework proposed by Banzi et al. (2011) and adapt it to the context in which DAIRI operates.
