Implementation of a National Pediatric Cancer Registry in Ethiopia: A systems ("A3") thinking approach.
Article in PloS one, 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
Cancer registries allow for the collection of key data associated with patient demographics, diagnoses, and treatments, making them an essential tool for research aimed to improve the quality of care in patients with cancer. Previously, a pediatric cancer registry did not exist in Ethiopia, and prevented the collection of such data. In order to address this gap, a group of oncology clinicians and implementation scientists from the University of North Carolina worked in collaboration with all five pediatric cancer centers within Ethiopia to identify barriers and facilitators associated with a piloted REDCap registry, provide necessary training, and perform workflow analyses to create one integrated process for a pediatric cancer registry. Based on these analyses, deficiencies in the current process were identified and standard operating procedures were developed for each cancer center to guide data collection. These advancements led to the launch of Ethiopia's first pediatric hospital based cancer registry.
