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

introductionStudies show that embedding research within healthcare services is associated with improved patient outcomes, enhanced workforce satisfaction, and increases in system performance. However, limited evidence exists regarding the research culture and capacity among hospital pharmacy staff in Australia.

aimThis research aimed to assess the research barriers, enablers, and motivators of a statewide public hospital pharmacy service at the organizational, team, and individual levels in Queensland, Australia.

methodThis study forms part of a statewide, prospective, cross-sectional survey conducted across 16 public hospitals and health services in Queensland, Australia. Using the validated Research Capacity in Context Tool, data were collected via a survey that included open-ended questions to explore research barriers, enablers, and motivators. Reflexive, inductive thematic analysis was conducted to identify key themes and subthemes in free-text responses, with subthemes mapped against the Capability-Opportunity-Motivation-Behaviour model and the Theoretical Domains Framework.

resultsOf the 481 survey participants, 401 provided open-ended responses. Six overarching themes and 14 subthemes were developed that influence research engagement. Themes are time and workload constraints, building research capacity, support from management, career progression and personal satisfaction, altruistic motivators, and navigating research processes. Lack of protected research time, limited access to resources, and variation in leadership support were prominent barriers to research uptake. Enablers of research uptake included availability of mentorship, interdisciplinary collaboration, intrinsic interest, and desire to contribute to patient-centered care.

conclusionThis study underscores the multifaceted barriers and enablers that act as motivators to cultivate research capacity within hospital pharmacy departments. Addressing concerns such as protected research time, mentorship, and streamlined governance processes is essential to nurturing a sustainable research culture.
