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

backgroundExcessive alcohol consumption is a significant global health issue, often unaddressed in primary care. The 15-method, a three-step opportunistic screening and treatment tool premised on Motivational Interviewing and integrated within the Screening, Brief Intervention and Referral to Treatment framework, offers a structured approach for healthcare professionals to identify and treat alcohol-related problems. The present study aimed to assess healthcare professionals' perceptions of determinants for early-stage implementation of the 15-method in Danish general practice and to classify these determinants using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR).

methodsThis qualitative study involved individual interviews and group interviews with general practitioners and nurses (N = 28) from 12 general practices participating in the Identification and Treatment of Alcohol Problems in Primary Care (iTAPP) study, a stepped-wedge cluster randomized controlled trial evaluating the effectiveness of the 15-method in Danish general practice. Interviews were semi-structured, guided by the CFIR framework, and analyzed using directed content analysis. Determinants were rated for their influence on implementation.

resultsKey facilitators included the 15-method's adaptability, strong evidence base, relative advantage, and compatibility with existing practices. Barriers included structural characteristics in the practices and local conditions. A central finding revealed a tension between patients' motivation and healthcare professionals' opportunities and capabilities to deliver the 15-method. Mixed determinants highlighted the complexity of implementing the 15-method across diverse practices.

conclusionImplementing the 15-method in Danish general practice is feasible but requires addressing specific barriers and leveraging facilitators. A multifaceted implementation strategy tailored to individual practices may be necessary to address the variations in contexts and resources across different practices with an emphasis on increasing healthcare professionals' capabilities and opportunities to deliver the intervention.
