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

Purpose: This study assesses adherence to evidence-based practice (EBP) among speech-language pathologists (SLPs) in German-speaking Switzerland and uses the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) to explore the influence of intrinsic and extrinsic predictors on EBP application. Method: The German version of the Evidence-Based Practice Inventory (EBPI) was used to assess four dimensions of EBP. Additional data on sociodemographic and workplace factors were collected. A total of 2.322 SLPs were invited to complete an online survey and 566 questionnaires were included in the analyses. Path models examined how individual and contextual factors influence EBP application. Result: Adherence for the four EBP dimensions was moderate to moderate-high, with mean scores ranging from 3.37 to 4.66 on a 6-point scale. Significant differences were observed among the TPB components, F(2.860) = 411.44, Conclusion: The moderate adherence to EBP observed among the surveyed practitioners highlights the need to strengthen intrinsic and extrinsic factors to ensure successful application of EBP in speech-language pathology.
