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

In grant applications, oral presentations can be an integral part of the evaluation process. Funding pitches are a specific form of pitch presentations delivered during competitive review procedures to complement a written proposal. Their goal is to convince reviewers of both your project's strength and excellence as well as your suitability as a researcher. This paper offers ten simple rules on how to prepare and deliver effective funding pitches, with a particular focus on content selection, clear structuring, and convincing scientific argumentation. We also highlight the importance of practice and feedback and share practical strategies on how to handle questions and critical discussion professionally.
