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

This study evaluated the impact of technical support on mental health clinicians' attitudes and use of an outcome assessment (OA) instrument. Technical support involved providing clinicians with the scored and profiled results of an OA instrument administered to their patients. It was predicted that temporary exposure to the instrument's uses would improve clinicians' attitudes toward the instrument and that improved attitudes would lead to greater use. The results indicated that subsequent to support clinicians' attitudes toward the instrument were generally more positive, as they had generally more favorable opinions, saw it as more relevant, and reported that it was relatively easy to use. Contrary to expectations, however, clinicians did not use the OA instrument more frequently or regularly after support. The implications for clinics seeking to implement OA protocols are discussed.
