Designing a Process Model of Home Care Service Delivery in Iran: A Mixed Methods Study.
Article in International journal of community based nursing and midwifery, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundConsidering the position of home health care in the current world, the objective of this study was to design an applied model of providing home care services in Iran.
methodsThe mixed methods approach was employed in three stages in Iran from Feb 2015 to Sep 2016. During the first phase, the qualitative method of content analysis was used. Data were collected by conducting 26 individual interviews and holding one focus group session involving 7 people. Data analysis was based on Graneheim and Lundman's approach to content analysis. In the second phase of the study, a literature review was carried out and at the end of this stage, a preliminary model was designed. The model was standardized in the third phase using the Delphi method with 23 participants in two rounds.
resultsIn the first and second stages of the study, various categories emerged including patient referral, agreement, determination of the needed level of care, care plans designing, provision of comprehensive services, documentation, service monitoring, inter-professional cooperation, issuance of death certificates at home, ethical considerations, and the evaluation of services. Then, in the Delphi phase, 20 (95.2%) of the experts confirmed the structure and content of the model and its applicability.
conclusionThe designed model can be helpful in organizing the provision of integrated and comprehensive health services to clients at home, which can be effective in improving the clients' health and enhancing their self-care and autonomy.
