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

aimTo determine characteristics, variability and enablers/barriers to evidence-based care and generate recommendations with implementation strategies to improve the management of early pregnancy bleeding in the emergency department (ED).

designMulti-method study.

methodsThis paper reports the integration phase of a multi-method study conducted in a regional health service with five sites. Quantitative results (characteristics, variabilities in care and barriers/enablers to evidence-based care) and qualitative findings (ED clinicians' perspectives and experiences) were integrated to generate new findings and recommendations, mapped to the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF) and corresponding intervention strategies using the Behaviour Change Wheel.

resultsThis study integrated findings from two cohort studies of 9859 women over 10 years and a mixed-method study of 104 ED clinicians from five sites. The four key findings were (i) ED remains a critical source of assessment, (ii) Improved access to resources is needed to provide evidence-based care, (iii) Gaps in ED clinician knowledge, skill and confidence have potential patient and health service consequences and (iv) A practice guideline is available; however, it needs refinement. These were mapped to five TDF domains: beliefs about capabilities and consequences, environmental context and resources, knowledge and skills and seven intervention functions. Recommended implementation strategies included multimodal education, clinical champions and an updated practice guideline.

conclusionRecommendations to improve delivery of care to women with early pregnancy bleeding in the ED focus on clinical skills and resources. An implementation strategy, considering resource availability, clinician knowledge, skills and confidence, was developed using behaviour change theory. IMPACT: Integration of characteristics, variability of, and influences on evidence-based care generated recommendations that could contribute to more consistent and effective care, improving patient and health service outcomes. PATIENT CONTRIBUTION: No patient or public involvement.
