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

backgroundThe Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is an underutilized program. SNAP uptake is limited in Latine households in particular due to concerns about immigration eligibility, even when there are SNAP-eligible household members. Implementation strategies are urgently needed to increase SNAP participation rates among those who are eligible. PURPOSE: We used collaborative planning and implementation mapping to design implementation strategies to increase SNAP participation.

methodsCollaborative planning and implementation mapping included: (i) identify a shared priority; (ii) review relevant data to identify determinants of SNAP participation; (iii) design strategies to accomplish the priority goal; (iv) reach consensus and pilot-chosen strategies and workflows; and (v) evaluate implementation success based on chosen outcomes. Using the Practical Robust Implementation and Sustainability Model, we identified two implementation strategies, a community and a policy strategy, to pilot from January to December 2023.

resultsThe community strategy leveraged an existing food program to identify participants who were not already enrolled in SNAP. This resulted in 69 referrals and 4 new SNAP enrollees. The policy strategy leveraged the existing policy context to link SNAP enrollment with Medicaid insurance reenrollment at the end of the COVID-19 public health emergency protections. This resulted in an unknown number of referrals due to data workflow barriers.

conclusionsDespite considering context in the design and piloting of two implementation strategies, success was limited. Future success will require including the perspectives of those with lived experience to inform processes to identify eligible individuals without creating additional stigma or furthering distrust among those who may be ineligible.
