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

objectiveTo describe implementation of family-centered care in maternal and child health (MCH) nursing services, before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. SAMPLE: Forty MCH Nurse coordinators of services providing population-wide, free, preventative health care for children aged 0-5 years and their families throughout Victoria, Australia.

designCross-sectional survey conducted in early 2021. Study-developed and validated tools, adapted to context, were used to explore family-centered care in 2019 and during pandemic disruptions in 2020. Descriptive analysis compared service structures, local adaptations, and ways of working.

resultsParticipants reported shifting to telehealth, shorter and fewer face-to-face consultations, reduced flexibility, and disruptions to parent groups and other community strengthening activities. Family-centered care scores were lower during the pandemic when services needed to prioritize most vulnerable children and families.

conclusionWhile family-centered care is evident throughout MCH policy and practice, there is scope for improvement. Key learnings, including new technologies and ways of working, are likely to guide future policy and practice. Local variations in service provision and community needs should be considered when evaluating, and exploring options for, preventative health care of children in the future.
