The use of implementation strategies to promote the uptake of psychological therapies among people with multiple sclerosis: A scoping review protocol.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
objectiveThis paper aims to standardize a scoping review protocol for completion of a scoping review. The proposed scoping review aims to: 1) determine the extent of the literature on which implementation strategies have been used to develop, deliver, and sustain psychological interventions for people with multiple sclerosis (PwMS) and 2) investigate how equity, diversity, inclusion and accessibility considerations are embedded within these implementation strategies and psychological interventions more broadly.
introductionPeople with multiple sclerosis experience high levels of stress, anxiety and depression. Psychological interventions, such as mindfulness-based interventions have been shown to be effective in managing these symptoms, yet their implementation in clinical practice is underexplored. Investigating the implementation of psychological interventions can help contextualize the efficacy and impact of these programs for PwMS. This proposed review aims to fill this knowledge gap by determining which implementation strategies have been used to develop and deliver psychological interventions for PwMS.
methodsThis scoping review will follow the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) methodology and reporting will follow the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses extension for scoping review (PRISMA-ScR). The search will be conducted across MEDLINE, Embase, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), and PsychInfo (Scopus). Two reviewers will independently conduct screening and data extraction in duplicate, with any disagreements resolved through discussion and involvement of a third reviewer. Data extraction will be guided by the JBI template. Quantitative data will be reported descriptively, and a conventional content analysis will be undertaken for qualitative data. INCLUSION CRITERIA: This scoping review will include studies globally published in peer-reviewed academic journals in English involving PwMS that report on implementation strategies for live, professional-led psychological interventions. Pharmacological studies or studies focusing only on effectiveness of psychological interventions will be excluded.
