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
backgroundPalliative and hospice care facilities face different challenges emerging from the COVID-19 pandemic. In particular, this results from the high age and pre-existing diseases of patients as well as the physically close contact between staff and patients.
objectiveThe aim of this study was to identify existing strategies, guidelines and recommendations in Germany and other countries with respect to addressing the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic in palliative and hospice care. MATERIAL AND
methodsThe databases PubMed, CINAHL, Web of Science and PsycInfo were searched as part of a scoping review. Additionally, Google Search and Google Scholar were used to identify "grey literature". All German and English language articles related to inpatient palliative and hospice care were included which were published between January 2020 and August 2021.
resultsA total of 51 publications were included in the analysis. The identified measures can be clustered into 10 different categories: infection control measures, structural measures, visiting regulations, communication structures, education and training, psychosocial support measures, specific considerations for people with dementia, advance care planning, farewell and measures after death.
conclusionWith respect to addressing the COVID-19 pandemic, the primary focus is on measures to enable communication between patients, staff and relatives, psychosocial support measures, structural measures and recommendations for training and education of all stakeholders. Measures for the palliative care of people with dementia in times of a pandemic as well as the farewell and grief management of bereaved families received less attention.
