Determinants of Adherence to Best Practice in Severe Traumatic Brain Injury: A Qualitative Study.
Article in Neurocritical care, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundManagement of patients with severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI) is highly variable and inconsistently aligned with evidence derived from high-quality trials, including those examining intravenous fluid resuscitation and use of decompressive craniectomy surgery. This study explored the barriers and facilitators of general and specific evidence-based practices in sTBI from the perspectives of stakeholder clinicians.
methodsThis was a qualitative study of semistructured interviews conducted with specialist clinicians responsible for acute care of patients with sTBI. Interview analysis was guided by the Theoretical domains framework (TDF), and key themes were mapped to relevant TDF behavioral domains.
resultsTen neurosurgeons, 12 intensive care specialists, and three trauma physicians from six high-income countries participated between May 2020 and May 2021. Key TDF domains were environmental context and resources, social influences, and beliefs about consequences. Evidence-aligned management of patients with sTBI is perceived to be facilitated by admission to academic research-oriented hospitals, development of local practice protocols, and interdisciplinary collaboration. Determinants of specific practices varied and included health policy change for fluid resuscitation and development of patient-centered goals for surgical decision-making.
conclusionsIn choosing interventions for patients with sTBI, clinicians integrate local environmental, social, professional, and emotional influences with evidence and associated clinical practice guideline recommendations. This study highlights determinants of evidence-based practice that may inform implementation efforts and thereby improve outcomes for patients with sTBI.
