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

backgroundIntegrated care systems present enduring governance challenges associated with fostering interorganisational collaboration.

aimTo understand how clinical leaders can make a distinct contribution to the governance and system leadership of integrated care systems.

methodsA qualitative interview study carried out between 2018 and 2019 with 24 clinical leaders, and a further 47 non-clinical leaders, involved in the governance of three Sustainability and Transformation Partnership in the English National Health Service.

resultsClinical leaders were found to make four distinct contributions: (1) making analytical insights into integration strategies that ensured their relevance and quality to clinical communities; (2) representing the views of clinicians in system decision-making thereby enhancing the legitimacy of change; (3) translation and communication activities to articulate integration strategies in favourable ways and ensure clinical engagement; and (4) relational work in the form of brokering and building connections and mediating conflict between multiple stakeholders. These activities varied across the levels of system governance and at different stages in the processes of change.

conclusionsClinical leaders can make a distinct contribution to the governance and leadership of integrated care systems based on their clinical expertise, membership professional networks, reputation and formal authority.
