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
contextAthletic trainers (ATs) were critical personnel in the development of policies and procedures for the safe return to campus and resumption of sport during the 2020-2021 academic year. Policies focused on preventing the potential spread of COVID-19, as well as screening, testing, and management of cases; however, which aspects of implementation were successful or more challenging was unknown.
objectiveTo identify successes and challenges in the implementation of return-to-sport policies and procedures during the 2020-2021 academic year amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
designQualitative study.
settingNational Collegiate Athletic Association Divisions I, II, and III. PATIENTS OR OTHER
participantsA total of 27 ATs (9 women [33.3%], mean age = 48.5 ± 9.8 years, years of experience = 25.0 ± 10.5) who were in positions of leadership or who were actively involved in developing and then implementing COVID-19 return-to-sport policies and procedures completed Zoom interviews. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS: Semistructured Zoom interviews were audio and video recorded and later transcribed. The data were analyzed by a team of 4 experienced researchers using the consensual qualitative research approach. Field notes, intercoder reliability, and multiple-analyst triangulation were used to establish data credibility.
resultsEmerging themes were implementation of public health interventions, interprofessional collaboration, and advancing the profession of athletic training. Participants described establishing and strengthening collaborations with other health care professionals as well as key stakeholders on campus as a positive outcome of the pandemic, but variations in policies among institutions and states made policy communication and enforcement more challenging.
conclusionsThe ATs played a pivotal role in policy development, communication, and enforcement. Overall, participants took pride in serving as health care leaders for their universities and opening the eyes of colleagues to the breadth of their athletic training skill sets.
