Clinic Versus Home: Nurses' and Social Workers' Perceptions of Extended Home Visits.
Article in Acta paediatrica (Oslo, Norway : 1992), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
aimThis study aimed to compare providers' ratings of delivery and fidelity of a post-natal extended home visiting programme within Child Health Services for visits conducted in families' homes versus the clinic setting.
methodsA retrospective quantitative study based on questionnaires (n = 3028) from child health services nurses and social workers was conducted using non-parametric tests to determine if there were any differences in professionals' perceptions of programme delivery and/or quality.
resultsThe results from this study indicate significant differences in professionals' perceptions of fidelity, confidence in abilities, content coverage, alliance-building, and emotional climate between home and clinic visits, with higher ratings given in all areas for visits conducted in the home.
conclusionWhile clinic visits may offer certain logistical advantages for professionals and primary care clinics, they may not provide the optimal environment for delivering the programme with fidelity, which is necessary for achieving the desired outcomes for child health and family well-being. The findings need to be taken into consideration when making decisions about resource allocation for early childhood programmes aimed at equitable health for a more sustainable society.
