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

The fragmented nature of Australian health and social care systems present a barrier to integrated care. Culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities are recognised as a priority population with unmet health and social needs. This study describes policy supports for programs that promote health and social care integration with a CALD focus, including governance and partnerships; workforce and staffing; funding and payment; and data sharing and use. The research question was 'what innovative policy supports to integrate health and social programs?'. Qualitative interviews of participants involved in the implementation of health and social care programs in the Sydney using the Innovative Policy Supports For Integrated Health And Social Care Programs Framework, were conducted. Twenty-seven participants from 24 health and social programs based in Sydney participated in the study. Six programs serviced CALD communities only. Ten had majority of CALD clients, with the remaining having a mixture of clients. Ten programs had a formal coordinator role. Most programs did not report new approaches to data sharing. Two out of the 6 CALD targeted programs reported data-sharing via teleconference in the context of emergency. These were 2 health programs addressing COVID-19 disparities and the humanitarian needs of refugees, respectively. Only 2 reported a special funding to assist vulnerable families and common emergency department presenters, respectively. This study demonstrated the lack of integration of services in health and social care. Policy development and implementation should consider bringing stakeholders together (informed by CALD groups) to advance the generation of technology for adopting universal standards and the integration of funding to better support health and social care for CALD communities in multicultural Australia.
