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.
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
backgroundDespite legislative support, PCC is not systematically practiced. An online facilitation training program targeting healthcare staff was developed in Sweden. This study aims to explore the acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility of this facilitation training program, designed to support PCC implementation.
methodsThis interview study evaluates the FaciLitating Implementation of Person-centered care (FLIP) training program according to the implementation outcomes acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility, using deductive qualitative content analysis. FLIP integrates the Building Implementation Capacity for Facilitation (BIC-F), which focuses on behavioral change, and PCC principles. FLIP included workshops and supervision sessions held online, led by external facilitators. Between these meetings, the FLIP participants worked with implementation plans in co-creation with their colleagues. Five healthcare units, with different healthcare contexts, in Sweden, participated over 12 weeks with two healthcare staff assigned the role as internal facilitators per unit, selected and supported by their managers. All internal facilitators, managers, and external facilitators were invited to participate in evaluating FLIP. A total of 17 participants, eight internal facilitators, five managers, and four external facilitators were interviewed in semi-structured individual and group interviews.
resultsFLIP was generally accepted among all participants, due to its emphasis on PCC, comprehensive content, and clear structure, as well as its blend of training, collaboration, and mutual support. Nevertheless, the acceptability was negatively affected by low attendance, low engagement due to the online format, and initial struggles with the systematic implementation model. The systematic implementation model used in FLIP was perceived as appropriate for implementing PCC in clinical practice; however, the training on PCC was viewed as insufficient, leading to challenges operationalizing PCC elements. The participants' perceptions of FLIP's feasibility varied; while delivery was manageable, busy schedules and technical disruptions negatively affected attendance and engagement.
conclusionsBecoming a facilitator capable of supporting the implementation of PCC is demanding and requires an understanding of both implementation and PCC. The BIC-F model was found to be accepted and appropriate, but operationalizing PCC requires more focus. Managerial support is needed to increase feasibility. Further research is required to evaluate whether facilitation skills can be trained online for large-scale PCC implementation.
