Mapping Irish Primary Care Research Across the Cancer Continuum: A Scoping Review and Bibliometric Analysis.
Review in Journal of general and family medicine, 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
Background: The scope of primary care cancer research on the island of Ireland has not been clearly mapped, despite primary care's pivotal role across the cancer care continuum. Methods: We conducted a systematic search of studies from the Republic of Ireland (RoI) and Northern Ireland (NI) up until October 2022 and summarized the literature using bibliometric analysis and narrative synthesis. From 3911 screened abstracts, 100 eligible outputs were identified: 60 journal articles, 38 conference abstracts, and 2 doctoral theses. Most papers (92%) were published after 2000. Results: Research output from NI and the RoI was proportional to population size; only one cross-border study was identified. Study designs were predominantly comparative observational (51%), with fewer non-comparative observational (23%), qualitative (23%), and experimental studies (3%). The most frequently studied cancers were cervical, breast, prostate, lung, and colorectal. Conclusion: This review provides a foundation for strategically directing future primary care cancer research in Ireland.
