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

backgroundOur research team has used the highly cited Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) a priori throughout the research process to better understand influences on implementation outcomes of an organizational change innovation to promote physical activity and healthy eating in faith-based settings. CFIR has recently been updated to include substantial changes in some domains and constructs, and our research team is preparing to carry out a new implementation study of an evidence-based innovation in churches. The purpose of this paper is to describe the process we undertook to map CFIR domains, constructs, and quantitative measures from our earlier studies onto updated CFIR domains, constructs, and quantitative measures for the new project, providing a model for other researchers.

methodsThe measurement team engaged in a systematic, structured, and iterative planning process that included the key actions of clarifying the goal for the transition process from CFIR to updated CFIR, reviewing/comparing CFIR and updated CFIR domains and constructs and how they changed, segmenting the five CFIR/updated CFIR domains for discussion and structuring each discussion with handouts in an iterative process, compiling the items from each domain, obtaining and incorporating feedback on the items from community partners, and compiling the final table of items that incorporates community input.

resultsThe culmination of our process was a table that included updated CFIR domains and subdomains, constructs, survey respondents, and the data collection timeframe (baseline, post-training, and 32 weeks).

conclusionsWe offer our experience as a model for other implementation science research teams who wish to transition from CFIR to updated CFIR domains, subdomains, constructs, subconstructs, and associated quantitative measures to better understand implementation outcomes.
