Implementation Challenges With the Child and Adult Care Food Program in Family Childcare Homes: A Qualitative Study.
Article in Current developments in nutrition, 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
Background: The Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) reimburses childcare programs for serving nutritious foods to young children and has potential as a strategy to improve young children's dietary quality. However, it is underutilized. Objectives: Using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR), identify the systemic challenges family childcare home (FCH) providers face when implementing CACFP. Methods: In this descriptive qualitative study, we conducted interviews with 33 English- or Spanish-speaking FCH providers operating in Massachusetts, including current, former, and never participants in CACFP. We elicited their perspectives on barriers and facilitators to implementing CACFP using a semistructured interview protocol with open-ended questions informed by CFIR. Interviews were transcribed and analyzed using a pragmatic thematic analysis approach. Results: Four main themes were identified from the interviews: Conclusions: The range of activities required for FCH providers to implement CACFP results in their taking on roles and responsibilities that are outside of their main professional role, creating fatigue and conflict. More implementation support, in the form of food service infrastructure or increased flexibility for program operations, could help FCH providers participate in CACFP.
