Effects of a leadership-focused implementation strategy on uptake of digital measurement-based care in mental health clinics: a cluster randomized trial.
Trial report in Translational behavioral medicine, 2026. 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
backgroundLeaders of healthcare organizations are often called on to guide the implementation of new innovations, including evidence-based practices and digital health technologies. However, many leaders lack preparation for this role and most available leadership trainings have not been rigorously tested, particularly over periods incorporating multiple implementation phases. PURPOSE: This study tested the effects of the Leadership and Organizational Change for Implementation (LOCI) strategy on the uptake of digital measurement-based care (MBC) in mental health settings across 35 months, incorporating implementation and sustainment phases.
methodsIn 21 outpatient mental health clinics serving youth, a two-arm, cluster randomized, hybrid type III effectiveness-implementation trial tested whether adding LOCI (k = 11) to standard digital MBC training and technical assistance (k = 10) improved uptake of digital MBC, assessed using system generated data and operationalized as clinic-level monthly counts of the number of youths with a measure administered and with feedback viewed by their clinician.
resultsOn both outcomes, clinics randomized to LOCI exhibited superior initial uptake (3 months post-baseline: mean difference in youths with measure administered per clinic (MYMA_Diff=5.09, 95% CI=[1.63-8.55]); mean difference in youths with feedback viewed per clinic (MYFV_Diff=3.81 [1.26-6.37]), superior uptake when the implementation phase concluded (13 months post-baseline: MYMA_Diff=9.03, [1.64-16.41]; MYFV_Diff=8.31 [3.07-13.56]), and superior uptake when the sustainment phase concluded (35 months post-baseline: MYMA_Diff=3.82 [1.28-6.36]; MYFV_Diff=1.41 [0.22-2.60]).
conclusionsLOCI is an effective approach for training organizational leaders to support implementation of evidence-based digital health technologies in healthcare settings. Studies examining how policy-level variables interact with leadership training are needed.
