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

Public health practitioners and policy-makers working to address the burden of chronic disease are increasingly seeking to use best practices given the need to make thoughtful program and policy choices with limited resources. While the evidence base in chronic disease prevention is growing through a number of different information sources, there is often a disconnect between the desire to use best practices and their implementation. This is related not only to individual and organizational barriers in terms of time and resources, but also to lack of agreement on what constitutes best practice and what sources of evidence are valid guides for practice. This is compounded by lack of user-friendly and streamlined access to credible best practice evidence and decision making/practice supports. In response to these needs, six years ago Canadian researchers, policy-makers and practitioners came together to begin working on creating a best practice system in Canada for health promotion and chronic disease prevention. This article presents an overview of the development of the Canadian Best Practices Portal and in particular how an evolution in thinking about best practice methodology and evidence will contribute to an enriched knowledge base for health promotion and chronic disease prevention policy, practice and research.
