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

Successful partnerships between people with different backgrounds and distinct beliefs are essential to solve 21st-century problems. We conducted 44 semi-structured interviews and 80 surveys with participants of academic-nonprofit partnerships. We used Plackett-Luce statistics and cultural consensus analysis to analyze respondent beliefs regarding partnership success. Respondents consistently placed a high value on a subset of 'core' reasons that academic-nonprofit partnerships succeed and exhibited higher-than-expected levels of agreement regarding the order of importance of these 'core' reasons. The approach we present here can be used before, during, and after partnerships to improve the design, implementation, and evaluation of team science.
