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

introductionMany factors can influence the implementation of innovations in aged care.

aimThis study aimed to develop a comprehensive Readiness Assessment Tool (Tool) to support aged care organizations' implementation efforts.

methodOur study employed a structured, two-stage approach. In Stage 1, we conducted a secondary analysis of a scoping review to identify factors that indicate implementation readiness. The findings were synthesized and refined through consultations with a Research Advisory Group. We then applied a modified Delphi technique in Stage 2 to refine and validate the Tool. Participants were involved in two rounds of surveys where they could rate each statement's importance and provide detailed feedback, ensuring the Tool's clarity, relevance, and practicality.

resultsThe secondary analysis of the scoping review yielded 93 statements encapsulating key readiness factors for implementing innovations in aged care. Two Delphi study rounds reduced this to 51 essential statements organized into five key categories: individual attitudes and capabilities, organizational context, characteristics and fit of the innovation, interpersonal interactions and connections, and implementation strategies.

conclusionOur study presents a comprehensive, user-friendly Tool specifically designed to guide the preparation for implementing innovations in aged care. This new Tool can enhance the capacity of aged care organizations to implement innovations effectively and sustainably, supporting improved care quality and operational resilience. Future work could involve longitudinal studies to validate the Tool's impact on innovation processes and outcomes across various aged care settings.
