Time Spent at Well-Child Care Visits for English- and Spanish-Speaking Parents.
Article in Academic pediatrics, 2023. 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
objectiveTo measure duration of well-child care (WCC) visits at 2 federally qualified health centers (FQHCs), across 10 clinic sites, and determine if differences exist in visit duration for English- and Spanish-speaking parents.
methodsUpon arrival to their child's 2- to 24-month well visit, a research team member followed families throughout their visit noting start and end times for a series of 5 WCC visit tasks. The average time to complete each visit task for the entire sample was then calculated. Mann-Whitney U tests were run to determine if task completion time differed significantly between English- and Spanish-speaking parents.
resultsThe total sample included 199 parents of infants and children between 2 and 24 months old. Over one third of the sample spoke Spanish as their primary language (37%). The average visit time was 77 minutes (standard deviation [SD] = 48). Median time spent with the clinician was 14 minutes (SD = 5). Clinician visit time was significantly different U = 2608, P < .001, r = 0.38 between English- (median = 15 minutes) and Spanish (median = 11 minutes)-speaking parents. No other significant differences were identified. DISCUSSION: Our findings align with previous studies showing the average time spent with a clinician during a WCC visit was 15 minutes. Further, the average time with a clinician was less for Spanish-speaking parents. With limited visit length to address child and family concerns, re-designing the structure and duration of WCC visits is critical to best meet the needs of families living in poverty, and may ensure that Spanish-speaking parents receive appropriate guidance and support without time limitations.
