Salutogenic and health-promoting communication techniques in general practice: a scoping review protocol based on the consolidated framework for implementation research (CFIR).
Article in BMJ open, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionSalutogenic and health-promoting communication techniques - such as positive health, motivational interviewing, solution-focused approaches and health coaching - aim to strengthen patient empowerment, resource activation and self-management in primary care. Despite growing interest, the evidence on how these approaches are implemented in general practice is fragmented. Guided by the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR), this scoping review will map settings, strategies, determinants and outcomes related to the implementation of salutogenic and health-promoting communication techniques in primary care. This review aims to bridge the gap between theory and routine care by identifying context-sensitive strategies for integrating salutogenic and health-promoting dialogue into everyday general practice. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: Following the Joanna Briggs Institute guidance for scoping reviews and Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Protocols (PRISMA-P), we will search MEDLINE, CINAHL and Embase from database inception to the date of search (no date limits; English/German). Eligibility will be structured by the Population-Concept-Context framework. Two reviewers will independently screen studies via Rayyan and chart data with a piloted form that captures intervention components, implementation strategies and contextual determinants mapped to CFIR domains. We will present descriptive summaries and CFIR-based matrices of barriers/facilitators and strategies, alongside narrative synthesis. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: Ethical approval is not required. We will disseminate findings via peer-reviewed publication, conference presentations and make all extraction matrices openly available via the Open Science Framework (OSF). TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: The protocol is registered on the OSF (https://osf.io/my7sh/overview).
