[Effects of the Covid-19 Restrictions on Supermarket Visits in Germany].
Article in Gesundheitswesen (Bundesverband der Arzte des Offentlichen Gesundheitsdienstes (Germany)), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundThe lockdown measures imposed in Germany starting in mid-March had a significant impact on public life. While the avoidance of social contacts was possible in many areas, the responsibility to provide themselves with food was placed in the hands of private households.
objectivesTo investigate whether and to what extent the restrictions led to changes regarding visits to supermarkets using cars. MATERIALS AND
methodsData were available on the parking movements on 136 parking spaces of supermarkets in Germany between the beginning of February and the end of May. The analyses focused on changes in the total number of parking events per day and slot as well as their duration.
resultsRegarding the parking events, there was a clear reduction until the end of April, interrupted by an increase around Easter. After the introduction of mandatory masking, the values recovered to just below the level before lockdown. The duration changed relatively slightly. Initially it decreased, but later rose slightly above the level observed before the restrictions. Over the medium term, there was a slight reduction of parking events and an extension of their duration by a little more than 5%. Discussion Despite the explicit exclusion of food purchases from the lockdown measures, a dynamic adaptation behaviour of the population to the changing circumstances is also evident in this context. In terms of parking movements, a lasting effect on shopping behaviour seems unlikely.
