[Mapping municipal psychosocial services for children and parents: access and coordination barriers in preventive care-a mixed methods study].
Article in Bundesgesundheitsblatt, Gesundheitsforschung, Gesundheitsschutz, 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
backgroundServices for the primary and secondary prevention of mental disorders in children are distributed across the health, education and social sectors. Comprehensive prevention requires their coordinated collaboration at the municipal level. However, there is currently no systematic scientific assessment of municipal psychosocial service landscapes for families.
methodsIn two socially disadvantaged neighbourhoods in a large city in western Germany and one in eastern Germany, professionals from the health, education and social sectors were interviewed (N = 19), and psychosocial prevention services were mapped online across sectors. Services were categorised according to support functions, and the results were fed back into the interview findings.
resultsProfessionals described the service landscape as fragmented and difficult to navigate; information and navigation barriers particularly affect low-income and immigrant families. The mapping identified 122 facilities providing 360 services visible online. It revealed sector-specific patterns; indications of potential undersupply in specialised paediatrics, child and adolescent psychotherapy, and child and adolescent psychiatry; limited outreach to migrants; and differences in the digital findability of services. DISCUSSION: The mixed-methods approach provides a basis for developing an instrument for the systematic assessment of psychosocial service landscapes. However, the mapping captured only services visible online and has not yet included waiting times, further barriers to access or actual service use. Future instruments should address these aspects in greater detail and involve professionals in the development of the instrument.
