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

backgroundPsychological trauma is a highly prevalent driver of poor health among people with HIV in the Southern United States. Trauma-informed care (TIC) has potential to advance national Ending the HIV Epidemic goals, but formative research is needed to tailor TIC implementation to complex and interdependent HIV networks.

methodsWe applied a community-based participatory research approach to iteratively engage personnel from high-volume HIV care institutions in Nashville, Tennessee. Current practices and potential implementation determinants were identified through participatory process mapping and key informant interviews. The Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research was applied to deductively code interview data. Personnel attending a dissemination summit developed a network-wide implementation plan.

resultsData were collected with personnel from five institutions (e.g., community-based organizations, primary care clinics, public health department), via process mapping (n = 48), interviews (n = 35) and a summit (n = 17). Results suggest there are limited trauma screenings, assessments, and services across the network. Relevant Characteristics of Individuals included a trauma-sensitive workforce committed to continuous learning and TIC adoption. Relevant Inner Setting Factors were networks and communications, with strong tension for change, high compatibility with TIC, and need for advancing cultural responsiveness. Relevant Outer Setting Factors included patient needs and resources and cosmopolitanism, with need for better leveraged mental health services. Relevant Process domains were champions and leadership, with need to diversify championship among leaders. Relevant Intervention Characteristics included relative advantage and complexity, with need for personnel wellness initiatives and increased engagement with the community as service designers. Four recommendations included development of shared communication systems, personnel wellness campaigns, routine evaluations to inform practices, and culturally responsive care initiatives.

conclusionModifiable TIC determinants were identified, and a community-created implementation plan was developed to guide adoption. Future research should focus on city-wide implementation and strengthening pre-implementation research in other settings.
