Differential Effects of In-person and Telehealth Implementation of Attachment and Biobehavioral Catch-up on Parental Sensitivity and Intrusiveness.
Article in Maternal and child health journal, 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
backgroundAttachment and Biobehavioral Catch-up (ABC) is a home visiting program designed for parents of children between birth and 48 months of age who have experienced early adversity. Previous research demonstrated that ABC enhances parental sensitivity and reduces parental intrusiveness through both in-person and hybrid delivery methods (Roben et al.in Child Development 88(5):1447–1452, 2017, https://doi.org/10.1111/cdev.12898 ; Schein et al. in Child Maltreatment28(1):24–33, 2023, https://doi.org/10.1177/10775595211072516 ). However, the relative effectiveness of in-person versus exclusive telehealth implementation had yet to be explored.
methodsThe current study examined changes in parental sensitivity and intrusiveness from pre- to post-intervention in community implementation settings among 201 families receiving ABC either in-person or via telehealth. Parenting behaviors were analyzed through coded video recordings of parent-child free play interactions, collected before and after the intervention.
resultsParental sensitivity increased for both implementation methods, with in-person delivery showing significantly greater improvement than telehealth. Parental intrusiveness also decreased for both groups, with no significant difference between the two implementation methods.
conclusionsABC was effective in improving parenting behaviors when delivered both in person and via telehealth in real-world community settings. Findings suggest that while telehealth delivery is a viable implementation option, in-person services may offer additional benefits for enhancing parental sensitivity, with implications for service delivery decisions in home visiting programs.
