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.

Abstract

backgroundLatinas face significant barriers to engaging in physical activity (PA), contributing to disproportionately high rates of chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. This study takes a unique approach by evaluating the implementation of Faith in Action (Fe en Acción), a multilevel, faith-based evidence-based intervention to increase moderate-to-vigorous PA among Latinas. More specifically, Aim 1 tests the short- and long-term impacts of organization-level implementation strategies at 6- and 12-month post-baseline. Aim 2 evaluates individual-level reach and effectiveness (physical activity). Secondary aims assess the mechanisms of change and sustainment strategies at 18 months.

methodsUsing a hybrid type 2 effectiveness-implementation study, the current randomized controlled trial compares the implementation of three conditions—standard, enhanced implementation, and enhanced + sustainment—across 32 faith-based organizations (FBOs) in San Diego County. DISCUSSION: The findings from this study can inform strategies for scaling and sustaining culturally tailored PA interventions in FBOs. The current study expands implementation science research and efforts to address health disparities by including Latino-focused FBOs, thereby contributing to the broader goal of reducing health inequities.

trial registrationThe Enhancing Capacity in Churches to Implement PA Programs trial was prospectively registered with ClinicalTrials.gov NCT05473871 (date of registration 20220721).
