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

Theories emphasize the role of individual and organizational characteristics in implementation outcomes, yet research indicates that these characteristics account for only a small amount of variance in those outcomes. Innovation characteristics might be important proximal determinants of implementation outcomes but are infrequently examined in mental health services research. This study examined the relative variance explained by individual, organizational, and innovation characteristics on behavioral intentions, a central implementation outcome in implementation theories. Data were collected from 95 therapists and 28 supervisors who participated in a cluster randomized trial that tested the effectiveness of two clinical decision-making innovations. Multilevel models compared individual, organizational, and innovation characteristics as predictors of therapists' intentions to use the innovations. Subsequent mediational path analyses tested whether innovation characteristics mediated the effect of innovation type on intentions. Individual and organizational characteristics explained 29% of the variability in therapists' intentions. Approximately 75% of the variability in therapists' intentions was accounted for by innovation characteristics. Individual and organizational characteristics were not statistically significant predictors of intentions after controlling for innovation characteristics. The indirect effect of innovation type on intentions through therapists' beliefs was statistically significant (B = 0.410, 95% Bootstrapped CI = [0.071, 0.780]), but the direct effect of innovation type was not (B = 0.174, p = .365). Innovation characteristics are related to therapist intentions and might explain why some innovations are received more favorably than others. Future studies should explore the complex interrelationships between these beliefs alongside other individual or organizational characteristics.
