Maternal Engagement in a Home Visiting Program as a Function of Fathers' Formal and Informal Participation.
Article in Prevention science : the official journal of the Society for Prevention Research, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Home visiting programs support new and expecting parents by strengthening parenting practices, improving parental and child health and well-being, and preventing child maltreatment. Participant retention is often a challenge for home visitation, particularly for young families, potentially reducing program impact. Father engagement in services may be one avenue for supporting continued program take-up for young parents. The current study examined associations between fathers' formal and informal participation in an infant home visiting program and mothers' take-up of home visits and whether these associations differed depending on mothers' relationship status at enrollment or timing of enrollment. Results showed that fathers' participation in home visiting supported maternal retention, particularly when fathers were formally enrolled. These associations depended on mothers' relationship status at enrollment but not on whether they enrolled pre- or postnatally. These findings have direct implications for home visiting programs, both in supporting maternal retention and in informing the recruitment and engagement of fathers.
