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

objectivePerinatal mental health (PMH) conditions often go unrecognized, undiagnosed, and untreated. Perinatal Psychiatry Access Programs (Access Programs) provide consultation, resources, and referrals to support frontline perinatal care clinicians in addressing PMH conditions. Most Access Programs also offer professional training for perinatal care clinicians. This article describes the goals of and approaches to professional training among 14 Access Programs.

methodWe conducted surveys (n = 13) and semi-structured interviews (n = 28) with Access Program team members, and reviewed policy and procedure documents that were publicly available or provided by the program.

resultsAccess Programs articulated 1-4 (mean 2.2) goals for their training component, including increasing awareness and utilization of the program, increasing PMH knowledge and clinical skills, and affecting clinic or systems change. Trainings were conducted virtually and in-person and used toolkits and innovative methods tailored for each program's setting and learners. Learners included obstetric, primary care, and mental health clinicians. In several cases, educational methods were well-aligned with training goals. Programs reported mutually reinforcing interactions between training and other Access Program components such as expert case consultation and technical assistance.

conclusionThe varying training goals and approaches reported here can inform how Access Programs and other psychiatric consultation programs develop or modify their professional training. This study also provides a framework for summarizing Access Program training activities, aligning professional training activities with program goals, and conceptualizing formal training as part of a multicomponent intervention ultimately aiming to affect outcomes ranging from clinician knowledge, awareness, and skills to clinic and systems change.
