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

backgroundSafety planning is a commonly used, evidence-based intervention for suicide prevention. There is a need for continuous engagement with safety plans post-discharge, and the improvement of safety plan portability has been discussed within our mental health organisation. This has led to the development of an app, called the Hope App. This study aims to implement this app into routine practice in a Canadian psychiatric emergency department.

aimsWe aimed to describe a collaborative, theoretically driven approach to co-design implementation strategies to elicit behaviour change among emergency department clinicians; co-develop a set of tailored, theory-informed, multifaceted implementation strategies for embedding an app into a psychiatric emergency department; and describe engagement evaluation received by the co-design team.

methodCo-design approaches and the Behaviour Change Wheel were used to develop implementation strategies with clinicians, patients and care partners. The co-design team consisted of 12 members, and we held four design sessions. Design sessions were iterative in nature and organised such that the findings of each session fed into the next session.

resultsWe identified 11 implementation strategies encompassing different combinations of intervention functions and behaviour change techniques, targeting barriers and leveraging facilitators identified in our previous work.

conclusionsThe tailored implementation strategies developed in this study have the potential to fill existing gaps in integrating digital technology. A key strength of this study is its use of behaviour change theories and a collaborative approach. The strategies are designed to align with the needs and preferences of clinicians, patients and care partners.
