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

backgroundThere is a continuing gap between the availability of cancer control empirically supported treatments (ESTs) to address psychological needs of cancer patients and their dissemination to and implementation by providers in the community. The Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), with constructs of attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, and intentions, is used to understand the pathways to and prediction of providers' behavior, that is, implementation of a cancer control EST and its provision to patients. PURPOSE: The purpose of the study was to prospectively test the TPB in predicting providers' usage of a cancer-specific EST, the biobehavioral intervention (BBI).

methodProviders (N = 166) were trained. At training's end, providers completed measures of attitudes, perceived behavioral control, and intentions to use the BBI, and their supervisors completed measures of attitudes operationalized as subjective norms. Providers were followed up and 4 months later reported their usage of the BBI with patients in the last 2 months. Regression-based path analyses tested attitudes, perceived behavioral control, subjective norms, and intentions as predictors of BBI usage and for the possible effect of intentions as a mediator.

resultsProvider's BBI usage was high, delivered to 65.6% of patients. Providers' attitudes toward the BBI (b = .006; 95% confidence interval [CI: .002, .010]) and subjective norms (supervisors' attitudes toward providers' EST usage; b = .021; 95% CI [.007, .034]) predicted usage. Intentions predicted usage in univariate analyses but was not a mediator for usage.

conclusionsUse of theory in implementation science can test and identify variables key to implementation success. Here the TPB identified providers' and supervisors' attitudes as predictors of EST usage. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2019 APA, all rights reserved).
