Bodies at Disposal in Home Care Settings.
Article in Sociology of health & illness, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Drawing on perspectives of care work as a collaborative and negotiated practice, this paper aims to explore how older service users actively contribute to care work and situations of care in the reablement policy context of homecare. The study analyses how service users in Danish and Norwegian municipal homecare settings place their bodies at disposal and how care workers' responses to service users' embodied contributions shape care practice and situations of care. Four ways of placing service users' bodies at disposal were identified: proactively, dependently, reluctantly and instructively. Care workers' capacity to attentively respond to service users' physical and emotional needs and their flexibility and adaptiveness in dealing with service users placing their bodies at disposal in various ways, seem to be key for care work as a collaborative practice that promotes dignity in care. The study applies affective ethnography as a methodological and analytical approach.
