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
Early supported discharge (ESD) facilitates a person with a stroke to be discharged from the acute hospital environment earlier than conventional care to continue their rehabilitation within the home with members of the multi-disciplinary team. A number of quantitative studies have highlighted benefits of ESD including a reduction in the length of inpatient stay, cost savings, as well as reducing long term dependency. This systematic review and qualitative synthesis explores the perspectives and experiences of those involved in ESD including people with stroke, family members, caregivers as well as the healthcare professionals involved in the delivery of the service. A comprehensive literature search will be completed in the following databases CINAHL, PubMed Central, Embase, Medline, PsycINFO, Sage, Academic Search Complete, Directory of Open Access Journals, The Cochrane Library, PsycARTICLES and Scopus. Qualitative or mixed methods studies that include qualitative data on the perspectives and experiences of people with stroke, family members, caregivers and healthcare professionals of an ESD service will be included. Methodological quality will be appraised using the ten-item Critical Appraisal Skills Programme checklist for qualitative research by two independent reviewers with a third reviewer involved should differences of opinion arise. Findings will be synthesised using thematic synthesis. It is anticipated that the qualitative synthesis will provide a deeper understanding of the experiences of ESD which may serve to inform practice as well as assist in the development of new ESD services.
