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

BACKGROUND AND

objectivesThe purpose of this paper is to describe the pre-implementation process utilized to identify potential substantive barriers and facilitators to implementing the Individualized Positive Psychosocial Interaction (IPPI) across 9 nursing home communities prior to recruitment for an embedded pragmatic clinical trial. RESEARCH DESIGN AND

methodsWe conducted 9 focus groups with n = 65 staff during regularly scheduled interdisciplinary care team meetings. Sessions included a description of the IPPI program and utilized a premortem exercise to solicit feedback on all the reasons why implementation of the IPPI would fail or succeed. To include additional stakeholders, we conducted individual interviews with n = 56 staff, n = 37 residents, n = 17 family members, and n = 1 volunteer. Data were thematically coded for barriers and facilitators informed by the Inner Setting Domain of the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research version 2.0.

resultsOverall, participants reported the human equality-centered culture, relative priority, and mission alignment of the IPPI with the organizational priorities as major facilitators. Potential barriers to IPPI implementation were related to structural characteristics, specifically staffing concerns around not having enough staff along with communication challenges with residents and finding appropriate space to conduct IPPIs as an available resource. DISCUSSION AND IMPLICATIONS: Utilizing the premortem exercise to engage staff, residents, and family was successful for relationship building between researchers and end users. Several substantive barriers and facilitators to IPPI implementation were identified, helping to inform implementation strategies for a future embedded pragmatic clinical trial.
