Implementation Strategies Used by Facilitators to Improve Control of Cardiovascular Risk Factors in Primary Care.
Article in Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine : JABFM, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundPractice facilitation supports practice change in clinical settings. Despite its widespread use little is known about how facilitators enable change.
objectiveThis study identifies which implementation strategies practice facilitators used and the frequency of their use in a study to improve the quality of cardiovascular care in primary care.
designCross-sectional analysis of data collected by practice facilitators in the Healthy Hearts Northwest (H2N) study.
participantsNotes collected by facilitators in the H2N study. APPROACH: We coded these field notes for a purposeful sample of 44 practices to identify Expert Recommendations for Implementation Change (ERIC) strategies used with each practice and calculated the proportion of practices where each implementation strategy was coded at least once. Strategies were categorized as foundational (used in 80% to 100% of practices), moderately used (20%-<80% of practices), rarely used (1-[Formula: see text]% of practices), or absent (0%). KEY
resultsWe identified 26 strategies used by facilitators. Five strategies were foundational: Develop and/or implement tools for quality monitoring, Assess barriers that may impede implementation, Assess for readiness or progress, Develop and support teams, and Conduct educational meetings.
conclusionsCommonly used strategies can help guide development of the core components of practice facilitation strategies.
