Practices and Perceptions of Community Health Centres Professionals Toward Evaluation: A Qualitative Study.
Article in Journal of evaluation in clinical practice, 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
BACKGROUND AND
objectiveEvaluation plays a critical role in improving the quality and efficiency of services in multidisciplinary primary care organizations, such as community health centers. Despite growing interest in developing tailored evaluation theories for multidisciplinary primary care non-profit organizations, little is known about how evaluation is practiced and perceived by professionals in community health centers. This paper explores both evaluation practices and professionals' perspectives in Belgian community health centers.
methodsWe conducted semi-structured interviews with 21 professionals from 12 Belgian community health centers.
resultsThe results highlight the complementarity of formal and informal evaluation practices in understanding how evaluation is conducted and used in community health centers. The results highlighted how conflicting considerations regarding relevance, utility, and feasibility that arise in formal evaluation practices lead community health centers to informal evaluation practices. Professionals perceive informal evaluation practices as more aligned with the values of community health centers.
conclusionThese results highlight the need to adopt a hybrid approach to evaluation, which combines formal and informal practices in a complementary rather than opposing manner. Drawing inspiration from care ethics embedded in informal practices could help reimagine formal evaluation practices in a more human-centered and context-sensitive way.
