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
backgroundPatient and public involvement in healthcare can be particularly challenging during crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
objectiveThe aims of the study, which focuses on COVID-19 testing in Sweden, were to explore (1) how, or to what extent, patients and members of the public were involved in decisions about the organization of COVID-19 testing during the first year of pandemic and (2) whether this was seen as feasible or desirable by regional and national stakeholders.
methodsA qualitative interview study was conducted with key organizational stakeholders at three national agencies and within three Swedish regions (n = 16).
resultsThere had been no patient and public involvement activities in the area of COVID-19 testing. The regions had, however, tried to respond to demands or critiques from patients and the public along the way and to adapt the services to respond to their preferences. The need for rapid decision-making, the uncertainty about whom to involve, as well as a hesitation about the appropriateness of involving patients and the public contributed to the lack of involvement.
conclusionFuture studies on patient and public involvement during crises should address what structures need to be in place to carry out involvement successfully during crises and when to use activities with varying degrees of power or decision-making authority for patients and members of the public. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: Fifteen members of the public contributed with short reflections on the study findings.
