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

aimsTranslation of evidence-based psycho-oncology interventions into routine care can significantly improve patient outcomes, yet effective implementation remains challenging due to numerous real-world barriers. A key factor that may influence implementation is organisational readiness for change. This mixed method study sought to identify factors associated with organisational readiness for implementing the Australian clinical pathway for the screening, assessment and management of anxiety and depression in adult cancer patients (ADAPT CP).

methodsWe collected data from multidisciplinary staff across six Australian cancer services who were preparing to implement the ADAPT CP. Services were categorised as having 'high' versus 'mid-range' organisational readiness based on a median split on the Organizational Readiness for Implementing Change (ORIC) questionnaire (score range = 12-60). Qualitative data from the semi-structured interviews based on the Promoting Action Research in Health Services (PARiHS) framework were analysed thematically and compared for services with high- versus mid-range organisational readiness.

resultsThree services with high- (mean ORIC range, 52.25-56.88), and three with mid-range (range, 38.75-46.39) organisational readiness scores were identified. Staff at services reporting higher readiness described a more collaborative and proactive service culture, strong communication processes and greater role flexibility. They also reported greater confidence in overcoming anticipated barriers and clearer strategies for addressing issues.

conclusionsLevels of organisational readiness were related to distinct qualitative themes. Targeting these issues in services where readiness is mid-range or low prior to full-scale roll-out may improve staff levels of confidence and efficacy in implementing psycho-oncology-focused interventions.
