Funding Details
With the establishment of the United Nations (UN) 2030 agenda, a call was made for a commitment of the countries that says "no one will be left behind". Likewise, one of the five factors proposed as key to understanding this concept is the place of residence [ 2 ]. It is specifically this factor that affects the registration of systematic reviews in the international registry of PROSPERO [ 3 ], where prioritization is expressly indicated for registrations from the United Kingdom because this initiative is funded by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) [ 4 ]. Moreover, in the confirmation email of the PROSPERO registration attempt, it is indicated that for UK requests, the registration can last an average of ten working days, while this period is extended to 3 months for other countries. This is, in no way, consistent with the overall goal of the UN, even more so when in low- and middle-income countries, there are marked deficiencies in various aspects such as research.
