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

Introduction: The Kansas Infant Death and SIDS (KIDS) Network facilitates a two-day conference certifying Safe Sleep Instructors to provide standardized trainings based on the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) Safe Sleep Recommendations. Within one-year of certification, Safe Sleep Instructors are tasked with (a) disseminating safe sleep education to 10 professionals or parent/caregivers; and (b) hosting one Safe Sleep Community Baby Shower or 10 Safe Sleep Crib Clinics. Methods: A retrospective study was implemented to assess the impact of the Safe Sleep Instructor certification program using data from participants trained in Fiscal Year 2022. Data was assessed using the RE-AIM framework and aspects of the Kirkpatrick Evaluation Model. Reach and Effectiveness were evaluated at the conference, as were Kirkpatrick Reaction and Learning. Adoption and Implementation, and Kirkpatrick Behavior, were assessed through post-conference activities. Maintenance was measured based on Safe Sleep Instructor recertification the following year. Results: Results suggested the Safe Sleep Instructor certification was successful in terms of Reach, Effectiveness, Implementation and Maintenance, and Kirkpatrick Evaluation Model. Adoption was less than expected. Conclusion: Utilizing dissemination and implementation science allowed for identification of strengths and limitations regarding the Safe Sleep Instructor program promoting the AAP Safe Sleep Recommendations. Modification to program requirements and expectations, post-conference support for activities, and increased ability to tailor to community needs may enhance Adoption efforts. In addition, Safe Sleep Instructors must have capacity, resources, expertise, and institutional support. Future studies are needed to assess characteristics that impact Adoption to enhance promotion of the AAP Safe Sleep Recommendations.
