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

Motivational interviewing (MI) is an empirically supported clinical method to help individuals make behavioral changes to achieve a personal goal. Through a set of specific techniques, MI helps individuals mobilize their own intrinsic values and goals to explore and resolve ambivalence about change. This article examines how MI-informed approaches can be applied to help staff adopt new evidence-based practices in organizational settings. Although the implementation science literature offers strategies for implementing new practices within organizations, leaders of quality improvement initiatives often encounter ambivalence about change among staff. Implementation approaches that require staff to make substantial changes may be facilitated by drawing from MI strategies. These include building a sense of collaboration from the beginning, eliciting "change talk," and addressing any ambivalence encountered. Motivational interviewing techniques may be particularly helpful in working with those in a stage of precontemplation (who have yet to see a reason for change) and those who are contemplating change (who see that a problem exists but are ambivalent about change). This article provides examples of how an MI-informed approach can be applied to help facilitate change in staff within organizations that are implementing quality improvement initiatives. These techniques are illustrated using a representative scenario.
