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

backgroundPublic-private partnerships have the potential to advance solutions to complex dilemmas such as the prevention and control of noncommunicable diseases. Knowledge creation, trust, and social capital among partners - encapsulated in the term "connective tissue" - are key considerations for the cohesion and sustainability of multisectoral collaborative efforts in global health.

methodsA survey was conducted with 23 stakeholders of projects in four countries supported by Access Accelerated, a collective of biopharmaceutical and life sciences companies. The survey elicited perspectives on the factors that strengthen collaboration and develop knowledge creation, trust, and social capital within the multisectoral partner network.

resultsSurvey respondents related how connective tissue was cultivated through implementation of multiple projects with shared goals. Identified barriers to effective collaboration included resource constraints, while facilitators included shared objectives and overlapping activities. Qualitative responses provide deeper understanding of how multisectoral collaboration contributed to the sustainability of the Access Accelerated initiative.

conclusionMeasurement of connective tissue enhances understanding of project performance by addressing dynamic and previously overlooked outcomes of multisectoral collaboration. Multisectoral health initiatives can incorporate implementation science methods into measurement approaches to strengthen connective tissue among partners and stakeholders. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
