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

objectivesThis participatory, mixed methods study will explore how iHEAL, a woman-led, nurse-delivered health promotion intervention for women who have experienced intimate partner violence (IPV), can be implemented in real-world, community-based health care settings located in 3 Canadian provinces. Grounded in the Active Implementation Frameworks, the study's primary aim is to identify the processes, resources and supports necessary to implement and sustain this novel program with fidelity while maintaining its benefits for women. METHODS/

designOver 2.5 years, each organization will plan for and deliver the iHEAL program, supported by an iHEAL Consultant. To explore implementation processes and fidelity, successes and challenges, and any value-added of iHEAL to organizations and/or communities, qualitative interviews will be conducted with 3 groups of participants: 1) organizational leaders; 2) implementation/delivery team members (nurses and supervisors); and 3) external stakeholders or agencies supporting iHEAL through referrals or other collaboration. High level notes capturing key issues and decisions at planning meetings will supplement these data. Administrative program data will be collected to assess program reach, participant engagement, and aspects of fidelity. Women participating in iHEAL will also be invited to complete pre/post intervention surveys to assess changes in key outcomes, with a subsample of 60 women to be interviewed about their experiences of iHEAL and suggestions for strengthening the program. Qualitative data will be analyzed using Rapid Team Based Qualitative Analysis and Reflective Thematic Analysis. Quantitative data will be summarized using descriptive statistics; pre-post intervention changes in outcomes collected in women's surveys will be analyzed using paired t-tests. Ethical approval has been obtained, and all participants will provide informed consent. SIGNIFICANCE: The findings of this research are expected to yield insights about organizational factors that shape the delivery of iHEAL and support the development of guidance materials for future iHEAL implementation and scale up.
