1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeTo explore the experiences of refugee mothers and community health nurses participating in a nurse home visiting program in Denmark, focusing on the program's effects on the psychosocial well-being of refugee mothers during the transition to motherhood.

methodsThe nurse home visiting program was an add-on the public care offered to all families, with extra training of the community health nurses and more time to engage with the families with immigrant and refugee backgrounds. Community health nurses (12) and participating women (9) participated in qualitative interviews between September and December 2020, following the program's conclusion.

resultsUtilizing the Resource-Based Model of refugee adaptation as a theoretical framework, we identified four main themes: (i) negotiating parenting norms and gaining confidence through parenting resources; (ii) finding emotional support to cope with integration pressures; (iii) expanding social resources, (iv) building bridges with welfare state services. These themes captured the resources gained by mothers through the home visiting program, positively influencing their psychosocial well-being, while also acknowledging the impact of the socio-political context on community health nurses' work and mothers' daily lives.

conclusionFindings offer insights about the potential and limitations of tailored nurse home visiting programs for refugee families, emphasizing the positive impact on mental health. However, challenges such as assimilation pressures, unwelcoming immigration policies, and discrimination may hinder program effectiveness.
