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

backgroundKnowledge translation (KT) in healthcare is a complex process. Building the KT capacity of the workforce is fundamental to closing the gaps between research and evidence-based practice. This evaluation aimed to describe the impact of a KT capacity building program (Allied Health Translating Research into Practice, AH-TRIP) on allied health professionals and health services and systems, with the secondary aim of identifying barriers and enablers to program impact.

methodsMulti methods evaluation using online surveys and semi-structured interviews with 20 program participants and their managers. The interview guide was underpinned by the Framework to Assess the Impact from Translational health research (FAIT). Deductive content analysis was used to categorise impact against FAIT, with barriers and enablers mapped to an implementation framework.

resultsSix domains of impact were identified: Individual Capacity Building, Workforce Capacity Building, Enhanced Networks, Clinical Practice Change, Patient/Community Benefits, and Economic Benefits. Enablers of impact were program design (flexibility, access to mentors, funding opportunities), local contexts supporting research (manager support, access to local experts), and previous exposure to KT. Consistent barriers included a lack of clinician time and confidence in KT, staff turnover (particularly in regional/rural areas), lack of organisational research culture, and short-term funding cycles.

conclusionUsing FAIT methodology, we have demonstrated significant impact achieved by a KT capacity building program for individual health professionals and the broader allied health workforce and health services and systems. Impact could be further optimised by strategies targeted at managers to create supportive contexts for KT through improving research literacy in health decision and policy contexts and innovative workforce planning.
