Potential strengths and limitations of the Better at Home Program identified by professionals and managers: a scoping review of the literature.
Article in Revista latino-americana de enfermagem, 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
objectiveto map the strengths and limitations of the Better at Home Program identified by health professionals and managers in the scientific literature.
methodthis is a scoping review based on the JBI manual and the PRISMA-ScR guidelines. The search was conducted in the MEDLINE/PubMed, LILACS, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science, CINAHL databases, and CAPES theses and dissertations, covering publications between 2011 and 2024.
results552 studies were identified, eight met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed. The program's potential lies in promoting dehospitalization, strengthening networking, developing educational health initiatives with families, and providing flexibility in care management. On the other hand, limitations were evident in relation to insufficient continuing education for professionals, emotional exhaustion among teams, technological limitations, and difficulties in communicating with the Health Care Network.
conclusionthe Better at Home Program is a relevant strategy in the dehospitalization process; however, it faces structural and operational challenges that compromise its sustainability. Investments in technological support and team strengthening are necessary to improve the continuity and quality of home care. Study registry: Open Science Framework: DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/6UCDB.
