Feasibility of Implementing Infant Home Visiting in a Central Australian Aboriginal Community.
Article in Prevention science : the official journal of the Society for Prevention Research, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
The Australian Nurse-Family-Partnership Program, an adaption of the Olds' Nurse-Family-Partnership (NFP), commenced in Alice Springs in 2009 (Central Australia FPP), aiming to improve the health and social outcomes of Aboriginal mothers and infants. This study explores the feasibility of NFP implementation in a remote Australian Aboriginal community. Feasibility was defined by programme uptake by eligible women, retention in the programme, actual vs. scheduled visits and extent of programme content delivery. Programme uptake was established from pregnancy data in the patient Clinical Information System and programme referrals to December 31, 2015. Rates of withdrawal, retention and content delivery were derived from FPP data and compared with published NFP data. Modified Poisson regression was used to identify client characteristics associated with retention beyond the child's first birthday. There were 469 valid referrals (43% of eligible pregnancies) and 299 women with at least one completed home visit by December 31, 2015. Of these, 41% completed the programme to the child's second birthday and 53% beyond the child's first birthday. Dominant reasons for leaving were "moved out of service area" (35%) and "declined further participation" (35%). There was a statistically significant positive association for programme retention with later gestational age at referral (RR = 1.27, p value = 0.03). A high proportion (75%) of scheduled visits was achieved and high delivery of programme content (80%). Central Australia FPP is the first implementation of the NFP model in a remote Aboriginal community. This study found that it can be implemented successfully in this setting. Outcome evaluation is needed to test achievement of hypothesised benefits.
