Implementation of Communication Disability Documentation and Accommodations in Primary Care: A Pragmatic Type III Hybrid Implementation-Effectiveness Trial Protocol.

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
purposeRoutine collection of patients' communication disability (CD) status is instrumental for monitoring and addressing health disparities, including the provision of disability accommodations. Few health systems routinely collect patients' CD status. This article describes the study protocol for the "Documentation of Communication Disability Collection and Accommodations in Primary Care Settings" (DECA) study, a pragmatic Type III hybrid implementation-effectiveness trial evaluating an implementation guide and practice facilitation on the adoption of CD status documentation. We additionally evaluate the study's pragmatic design using Pragmatic Explanatory Continuum Indicator Summary-2-Provider Strategies (PRECIS-2-PS).
methodThe intervention includes documenting CD status and accommodation needs in the electronic health record (EHR) and providing requested accommodations. The implementation strategies are a tailored implementation guide and a practice facilitator providing implementation planning, problem solving, and quality monitoring. This quasi-experimental, stepped-wedge design includes 10 clinics across five health systems. The study employs a concurrent mixed-methods design. The primary outcome is Reach, operationalized as the proportion of patients with clinic visits during the study period who have CD status documented in the EHR. Secondary outcomes include the percentage of patients with accommodations documented in the EHR and the qualitative evaluation of adoption, implementation, and maintenance. Using PRECIS-2-PS domains, we rated the DECA study design elements as moderately to highly pragmatic, with design trade-offs made to balance real-world applicability with scientific rigor.
conclusionThe DECA study will offer pragmatic evidence on the implementation effectiveness of an implementation guide and practice facilitation supporting health systems in identifying which patients have a CD and what accommodations they need.
