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

backgroundA polypill that contains multiple guideline-directed medical therapies for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) has been proposed to improve HFrEF outcomes. The factors affecting implementation of a polypill-based strategy for HFrEF are unknown.

objectivesThis study aims to identify determinants that could affect a polypill-based strategy for HFrEF, design a multilevel HFrEF polypill implementation bundle, and illustrate how the bundle could improve outcomes.

methodsFrom April to December 2023, we conducted a convergent parallel mixed methods study at Washington University in St. Louis and the University of California-San Francisco to gather patient (N = 9) and provider (N = 22) perspectives on a polypill-based approach to HFrEF care guided by the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research v2.0. We then used the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research-Expert Recommendations for Implementing Change Matching Tool to select strategies for a multilevel implementation bundle and mechanism mapping to elucidate how the bundle could improve patient outcomes.

resultsStakeholder interviews revealed four themes that affect implementation of a polypill-based approach to HFrEF. The current state of HFrEF care was the organizing theme, influenced by 3 additional themes: awareness of new innovations, assessing innovation appropriateness, and building competency in HFrEF care. Based on these themes, we developed a multilevel HFrEF polypill implementation bundle with 7 domains and illustrate how the bundle could improve outcomes with a directed acyclic graph.

conclusionsThis study illustrates the development of a multilevel HFrEF polypill implementation bundle that can be further tailored to improve HFrEF care in undertreated populations globally.
