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

purposeDespite the substantial evidence supporting the guidelines for the provision of reproductive health services for adolescents, research points to a persistent gap in their translation into health care practice. This study examines barriers and facilitators that health centers experience when implementing evidence-based clinical practices for adolescent reproductive health services and discusses strategies to address identified barriers.

methodsSemistructured interviews were conducted with 85 leaders and staff of 30 health centers in Alabama, Georgia, Massachusetts, North Carolina, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Texas. Interview data were analyzed for emergent themes following a grounded theory approach.

resultsData analysis revealed that certain factors at health system and community levels influenced health centers' efforts to implement evidence-based clinical practices for adolescent reproductive health care. In particular, support from health center leadership, communication between leadership and staff, and staff attitudes and beliefs were reported as factors that facilitated the implementation of new practices.

conclusionsHealth center efforts to implement new practice guidelines should include efforts to build the capacity of health center leadership to mobilize staff and resources to ensure that new practices are implemented consistently and with quality.
