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

Objective: The current study aimed to elucidate themes that contributed to successful and unsuccessful collaborative guideline development between organisations. Study Design and Setting: The reporting of qualitative methods was checked against the Consolidated criteria for reporting qualitative research (COREQ) checklist. A purposive sampling approach was used to recruit participants with experience or affiliations in collaborative guideline development. Participants completed a pre-interview questionnaire and took part in semi-structured interviews. Interview transcripts were coded using inductive thematic analysis methodology. Results: The thematic analysis of guideline developer interviews ( Conclusion: This analysis demonstrated facilitators and barriers to collaborative guideline development are interconnected. Future research into collaborative guideline development should look towards validating these findings in a more geographically diverse sample and investigate the mechanisms through which barrier, facilitator and cross-cutting themes contribute to guideline collaboration between organisations. Further understanding of factors that can impede or expedite successful collaboration provide opportunities to identify effective strategies for overcoming perceived barriers to collaboration. Findings from this study can be used to bolster collaborative efforts by encouraging alignment in processes, methodology, and expectations, as well as promoting collective knowledge and resource sharing between collaborators within different guideline development organisations.
