A Qualitative Evaluation of Caregivers' Perceptions of a New Australian Public Mental Health Service (Nurturing Connections).
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2026. 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
Children whose primary caregivers experience mental illness and adverse psychosocial complexity are at increased risk of experiencing mental, physical, and relational challenges. Perinatal mental health services have commonly focused on treating the parental mental health problem; however, emerging evidence shows that parental mental health interventions alone are not sufficient to address the complex needs of both caregivers and their children. To address this gap in services, a new, highly specialised program-the Nurturing Connections Program-was implemented across three Australian local health districts within the State of New South Wales. The program is targeted to caregivers of young children referred to mental health services and aims to improve caregiver mental health and psychosocial adversity, child developmental outcomes, and the child-caregiver relationship. This study evaluated caregivers' experiences with, and views of, the program. Twelve caregivers participated in semi-structured, in-depth interviews. A reflexive thematic analysis approach guided data interpretation. Four themes and three subthemes emerged from the data: (1) motivation for attending the program; (2) program components received; (3) post-program outcomes (subthemes: Caregiver-related outcomes, Child-related outcomes, and interpersonal outcomes); and (4) areas for program improvement. This study's findings highlight program benefits, program facilitators and areas for improvement.
