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
Home visiting (HV) is a strategy for delivering services designed to promote positive parenting and prevent exposure to toxic stress during a critical period of child development. Home visiting programs are voluntary and family engagement and retention in service can influence outcomes. Most participants receive less home visits and for a shorter time than prescribed by evidence-based models. The purpose of this study was to evaluate community-based enrichment of HV (CBE-HV), an approach that was developed and implemented to increase engagement and retention in HV. CBE-HV strategies included (1) community engagement, (2) ancillary supports for families in HV, and (3) enhancements to a HV program. A retrospective, quasi-experimental study was conducted to estimate the effect of CBE-HV on the retention of families in a HV program. Comparisons of study participants were made post-implementation of CBE-HV (n = 2191) and over time (n = 3786)-pre- versus post-CBE-HV implementation in the study communities. The CBE-HV effect was statistically significant and protective (hazards ratio [HR] 0.77, 95 % confidence interval [CI]: 0.67, 0.88), indicating that attrition from HV was 23 % less in the CBE-HV group relative to the post-implementation comparison group. In the temporal comparison of study communities, CBE-HV was also associated with a significantly lower risk of HV attrition (HR: 0.71, 95 % CI: 0.56, 0.89). The study demonstrated that CBE-HV is a promising approach to achieve stronger retention and engagement in HV. Further research is needed to identify the components of CBE-HV approaches that are most effective.
