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

objectiveThe aim of this study was to demonstrate the utility of a modified Process Evaluation Rating Sheet (PERS) for analyzing implementation quality and program efficacy in a workplace weight loss program.

methodsHealth care system workgroups formed teams to implement weight loss activities between 2018 and 2020. We used Spearman correlations and hierarchical regressions to examine associations between implementation quality captured by the modified PERS and program efficacy outcomes such as organizational health climate and supervisor support measured by the Multifaceted Organizational Health Climate Assessment and Job Content Questionnaire.

resultsFour hundred seven workers from 11 workgroups participated. Workgroups with high PERS scores sustained improvement in Multifaceted Organizational Health Climate Assessment and Job Content Questionnaire scores. No group sustained improvements at 24 months.

conclusionImplementation quality was associated with program efficacy, but the association faded over time. Utilizing the modified PERS may enhance evaluation of workplace health behavior change programs.
