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

introductionStrategic knowledge mobilization efforts are needed to enhance uptake and use of the Canadian 24-Hour Movement Guidelines (24HMG), which describe optimal amounts of physical activity, sedentary behaviour and sleep each day for overall health. The Whole Day Matters Toolkit for Primary Care is an evidence-informed resource to help primary care providers (PCPs) disseminate the 24HMGs. The purpose of this study was to describe gaining consensus on toolkit components through iterative revisions to improve its utility in preparation for the September 2022 launch, and to summarize early dissemination efforts.

methodsA multidisciplinary expert working group planned three modified Delphi surveys to assess PCPs' level of agreement with toolkit components on 7-point Likert scales with follow-up prompts for ratings of 4 or less. Consensus was defined a priori as a mean of 6 or higher out of 7 and 60% or more of PCPs selecting at least "somewhat agree." Items on which consensus was reached were removed from subsequent surveys unless they were revised.

resultsTwenty PCPs completed surveys 1 and 2; 15 completed survey 3. Consensus was reached on 5% (4/83), 17% (14/83) and 55% (38/69) of the items in surveys 1, 2 and 3, respectively. The number of qualitative comments decreased from 26 to 19 to 12, further indicating increasing consensus.

conclusionItems on which consensus was not gained may reflect differences in provider characteristics or settings. A coproduced dissemination strategy was enacted. Toolkit reach was evaluated at launch and 4 months later.
