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

issue addressedResearch has trialled many initiatives to support caregivers to shape young children's health behaviours. However, translating evidence to public health practice and policy is a challenge, in part due to access to such evidence. We aimed to co-design a child health evidence dashboard, and to understand the expected enablers and barriers to use of the dashboard with next-users (e.g., Australian child service managers, program planners).

methodsUsing an integrated knowledge translation approach, we conducted a mixed-methods study involving five online co-design workshops. Next-users were invited to participate in the workshops and completed pre- and post-workshop surveys. Pragmatic data analysis occurred after each workshop to identify next-user requirements and inform iterative dashboard development alongside workshops.

results15 next-users participated in the workshop series (median of 9 per workshop). Next-user preferences were categorised into desired uses, content, features and functionality, and design for the dashboard. Key enablers to use of the dashboard included relevance, promotion and credibility of the dashboard, positive user experience, time and resources to support use of the dashboard.

conclusionsWe identified what and how next-users want evidence on child health initiatives to inform policy and practice. Findings enabled development of an initial evidence dashboard prototype informed by next-user preferences. Understanding the enablers and barriers to using and engaging with the dashboard will inform ongoing development and implementation.
