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

backgroundEnabling community-led health initiatives will contribute to reducing the burdens on the healthcare system. Implementing such initiatives successfully in high and upper-middle income Asian countries is poorly understood and documented. We undertook a Rapid Review, systematically synthesising the evidence to develop implementation guidelines to address this gap.

methodsEligible studies focused on community movements or affiliated constructs in upper-middle and high-income Asian countries, conducted between 2014 and 2021. Studies were sought from either electronic databases - Cochrane and Campbell Collaboration, PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, SCOPUS, APA Psycinfo, Web of Science, Google Scholar - or recommendation from experts. Extraction was undertaken according to mid-level programme goals, termed Intermediate Results. These were conceptualized by a cross-disciplinary team and iteratively reworked as analysis progressed. Framework analysis was undertaken and structured according to the IRs. 28 studies (9 mixed methods, 9 quantitative, 7 qualitative and 3 case studies) were included and synthesised.

resultsThe MovEMENTs checklist and related strategies were elicited through the review. The six Intermediate Results include to: (1) Move the community to be recruited and retained (2) Engage capacity and build capability; (3) Maintain emotional resonance; (4) Embed participatory approaches; (5) Nurture network building and partnerships; (6) Team up to improve commissioning and funding structures. Sixteen strategies and related implementation guidelines underpinning the Intermediate Results are extracted from the evidence-base of included studies.

conclusionThe MovEMENTs for Health checklist is developed to serve as a guide for implementers and proposed to be adaptable to various contexts. The checklist should be tested, validated, and updated as a field tool.
