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

Perceptions of evidence-based practices (EBPs) and implementation are inherent drivers of implementation outcomes. Most studies on implementation perceptions have focused on direct service providers, but clients and EBP experts may offer additional meaningful information about implementing EBPs in community settings. EBP providers (n = 21), EBP experts (n = 12), and clients who received EBPs (n = 6) participated in focus groups to ascertain their perceptions of and experiences with EBP implementation, as part of a program evaluation. Thematic analysis indicated that provider and expert perceptions of EBP implementation in community settings converged around themes of implementation supports and training and client outcomes, along with several subthemes. Client perceptions centered on themes regarding the importance of their personal experiences, their impressions of EBPs, as well as their recommendation for increasing public awareness and use of EBPs. Findings suggest that the perspectives of EBP providers and experts are closely aligned, focusing on system-level, individual-level, and training issues that impact EBP implementation within a public mental health system. The themes that were important to clients were primarily related to their experiences as recipients of an EBP which produced insightful recommendations for promoting EBPs in the community.
