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
Ageing populations have resulted in more patients living in long-term care or nursing homes, where they face challenges to accessing prompt specialist care exacerbated in many cases by physical or cognitive decline. Electronic consultation has demonstrated an ability to improve access to specialist care for vulnerable groups and offers a potential solution to this gap in care. To support electronic consultation's uptake among long-term care homes, we created the electronic consultation long-term care utilization and savings estimator, an Excel-based tool that estimates the number of off-site appointments that patients in a long-term care home could avoid through electronic consultation, along with the consequent time and cost savings. In this brief report, we discuss the electronic consultation long-term care utilization and savings estimator's creation and function, and provide a case study using long-term care data to demonstrate its potential impact. We anticipate the electronic consultation long-term care utilization and savings estimator will be a highly impactful tool and intend to test it in real-world conditions following the relaxation of COVID-19 restrictions.
