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

Introduction: A key barrier to translating evidence into practice is the paucity of learning health system (LHS) researchers elucidating and addressing barriers to implementation and maintenance. Methods: In response to the growing need for a workforce dedicated to translating evidence into practice, we developed the Southern California Healthcare Delivery Science Center (SC HDSC). In this experience report, we describe the establishment of SC HDSC and its impact to date. Results: SC HDSC was established in 2021 to develop and support an LHS researcher workforce that develops, tests, and disseminates innovative interventions to enhance healthcare access, quality of care, and health outcomes. The Center leverages academic-public sector partnerships and has an overarching goal of achieving health equity. The conceptual model for SC HDSC involves the solicitation of priorities from patients, families, healthcare system leaders, frontline staff, and researchers; support of interdisciplinary teams to design, implement, and evaluate interventions addressing these priorities; and the creation of toolkits for dissemination of effective interventions. SC HDSC provides grant funding, training, networking, team building, consultations, and career building opportunities for LHS researchers. Conclusions: SC HDSC may offer a new model for educating LHS researchers and building a broader community dedicated to translating evidence into practice.
