["I better stay at home…"-health system decisions to support the use of routine healthcare during the COVID-19 pandemic].
Review in Bundesgesundheitsblatt, Gesundheitsforschung, Gesundheitsschutz, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
backgroundDuring the COVID-19 pandemic, sharp disruptions of healthcare utilization for noncommunicable diseases were observed to some extent because of people's fear of infection. We undertook a review of German healthcare institutions asking: To what extent were people supported in their decisions (not) to seek medical care for health problems other than COVID-19?
methodsContent analysis of the websites of the members of the Association of Scientific Medical Societies (AWMF; n = 179), the association of statutory (dental) health insurance physicians (K(Z)Vs; n = 38), selected health insurances (n = 21), selected healthcare institutions (n = 25), and supraregional health information providers (n = 5) for information and offers that address people with noncommunicable diseases.
resultsThe examined websites provide information about COVID-19, but only rarely about how to behave in the case of another (suspected) disease regarding healthcare utilization. Two health information provider portals, one health insurance company, but none of the KVs offer explicit decision support. KVs refer more often, but not consistently, to the general possibility of video consulting. DISCUSSION: Information concerning the topic is scarce for most of the patients. In the face of the ongoing pandemic, it is important to expand existing, trustworthy, high-quality information and advisory capacities to increase their profile in order to enable health-literate decisions even during a pandemic.
