An updated framework for task shifting and sharing: refining the SHIFT-SHARE based on stakeholder feedback from India.
Article in Journal of global health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Shortages of health care providers necessitate task shifting and sharing (TS/S), yet few implementation frameworks guiding these strategies exist. In 2023, we developed the first iteration of the Strategic Healthcare Implementation Framework for Task Shifting, Sharing, and Resource Enhancement (SHIFT-SHARE), a six-stage cyclical framework drawing on change management theories and implementation science. Here we present SHIFT-SHARE 2.0, updated to incorporate stakeholder consultations in India, where we ran eight focus group discussions with 35 stakeholders (November 2023 to September 2024), including health care staff, organisational leaders, academics, and students. Participants reviewed SHIFT-SHARE materials beforehand and gave feedback on its accessibility, terminology, structure, and utility, after which we mapped the framework's strengths, weaknesses, and required modifications through thematic analysis. Stakeholders valued SHIFT-SHARE's visual clarity and comprehensiveness, while identifying changes to make its language more accessible, restructuring risk assessment as a continuous process, adding workforce incentivisation as a core consideration, and reconceptualising the framework's logic model to represent continuous cycles, terminating loops, and contingency exits. We also propose implementation support tools, including a term of reference document and a workbook of question-based prompts. The SHIFT-SHARE 2.0 addresses stakeholder-identified barriers to TS/S and may help make implementation planning more systematic, responding to the World Health Organization's calls for TS/S-specific frameworks. Further validation across diverse contexts will be needed to assess its broader utility.
