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

backgroundScreening for adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) in prenatal and pediatric populations is recommended by the California ACEs Aware initiative and is a promising practice to interrupt ACEs in children and mitigate ACEs-related health complications in children and families. Yet, integrating ACEs screening into clinical practice poses several challenges.

objectiveThe objective of this report was to evaluate the Kaiser Permanente Northern California and Kaiser Permanente Southern California pilots and implementation of ACEs screening into routine prenatal (Kaiser Permanente Northern California) and pediatric (Kaiser Permanente Southern California) care. MATERIALS AND

methodsThese pilots were evaluated and compared to identify common challenges to implementation and offer promising practices for negotiating these challenges. Evaluation methods included feedback from staff, clinicians, and patients, as well as comparisons of methods to overcome various barriers to screening implementation.

resultsImplementing ACEs screening, like implementation of any new component of clinical care, takes careful planning, education, creation of content and workflows, and continuous integration of feedback from both patients and staff.

conclusionThis evaluation can serve as support for care teams who are considering implementing ACEs screening or who are already screening for ACEs. More research is needed regarding the relationship between ACEs and preventable and treatable health outcomes to improve health for patients and their families.
