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
Palliative care (PC), which improves the quality of life for patients with serious illnesses, can be offered in multiple settings, such as the hospital, community, and home. The trend toward delivering PC at home has been recently accelerated during the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic has created challenges for patients with serious illnesses who have been proven to be susceptible to serious COVID-19 illnesses. This review of the literature presents research studies on home PC (HPC) during the pandemic. Databases (PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science Core Collection) were searched. Twelve research/case studies were found to be relevant. These articles gathered information either through qualitative (surveys/interviews) methods or medical records. Most qualitative articles focused on perceived challenges and opportunities from HPC professionals' perspectives. Adopting telehealth was frequently discussed as a key tool to adjust to the pandemic. In general, HPC professionals and patients had a positive attitude toward telehealth, and this attitude was much more pronounced among professionals than patients. Among HPC professionals, some reports indicated that their burnout rates reduced, and job satisfaction increased during the pandemic. Regarding clinical and cost outcomes, there is a gap in the literature on HPC during the pandemic. In conclusion, despite challenges, it seems that the pandemic has gifted some long-term opportunities for promoting HPC in combination with telehealth. COVID-19 will not be the last pandemic, and we should be prepared for the next one by updating policies and building concrete infrastructure for HPC.
