Theorizing is for everybody: Advancing the process of theorizing in implementation science.
Article in Frontiers in health services, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
There has been a call to shift from treating theories as static products to engaging in a process of theorizing that develops, modifies, and advances implementation theory through the accumulation of knowledge. Stimulating theoretical advances is necessary to improve our understanding of the causal processes that influence implementation and to enhance the value of existing theory. We argue that a primary reason that existing theory has lacked iteration and evolution is that the process for theorizing is obscure and daunting. We present recommendations for advancing the process of theorizing in implementation science to draw more people in the process of developing and advancing theory.
