Establishing an Evidence Synthesis Capability For Psychological Health Topics in the Military Health System.
Article in Medical care, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
backgroundTo promote evidence-based health care, clinical providers and decision makers rely on scientific evidence to inform best practices. Evidence synthesis (ES) is a key component of this process that serves to inform health care decisions by integrating and contextualizing research findings across studies.
objectiveThis paper describes the process of establishing an ES capability in the Military Health System dedicated to psychological health topics. RESEARCH DESIGNS: The goal of establishing the current ES capability was to facilitate evidence-based decision-making among clinicians, clinic managers, research funders, and policymakers, through the production and dissemination of trustworthy ES reports. We describe how we developed this capability, provide an overview of the types of evidence syntheses products we use to respond to different stakeholders, and detail the procedures established for selecting and prioritizing synthesis topics.
resultsWe report on the productivity, acceptability, and impact of our efforts. Our reports were used by a variety of stakeholders and working groups, briefed to major committees, included in official reports and policies, and cited in clinical practice guidelines and the peer-reviewed literature.
conclusionsOur experiences thus far suggest that the current ES capability offers a needed service within our health system. Our framework may help inform other agencies interested in developing or sponsoring a similar capability.
