Use of implementation logic models in the Quadruple Aim QUERI: conceptualization and evolution.
Article in Implementation science communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
backgroundImplementation strategies are essential to deliver evidence-based programs that align with local context, resources, priorities, and preferences. However, it is not always clear how specific strategies are selected (vs. others) and strategies are not always operationalized clearly, distinctly, and dynamically. Implementation logic models provide one useful way to conceptualize the role and selection of implementation strategies, plan evaluation of their intended impacts on implementation and effectiveness outcomes, and to communicate key aspects of a project.
methodsThis paper describes our initial plans, experiences, and lessons learned from applying implementation logic models in the Quadruple Aim Quality Enhancement Research Initiative (QUERI) a large multi-study program funded by the Veterans Health Administration (VA). We began with two primary implementation strategies based on our earlier work (i.e., Iterative RE-AIM and Relational Facilitation) that were applied across three different health outcomes studies.
resultsOur implementation strategies evolved over time, and new strategies were added. This evolution and reasons for changes are summarized and illustrated with the resulting logic models, both for the overall Quadruple Aim QUERI and the three specific projects. We found that implementation strategies are often not discrete, and their delivery and adaptation is dynamic and should be guided by emerging data and evolving context. Review of logic models across projects was an efficient and useful approach for understanding similarities and differences across projects.
conclusionsImplementation logic models are helpful for clarifying key objectives and issues for both study teams and implementation partners. There are challenges in logic model construction and presentation when multiple strategies are employed, and when strategies change over time. We recommend presentation of both original and periodically updated project models and provide recommendations for future use of implementation logic models.
