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
backgroundIn the event of a COVID-19-related absence from an outpatient treatment program, patients suffering from dementia and their caregivers were offered support from a distance. The aim was to examine the extent of the participants' burden as well as how the offer was accepted and evaluated. MATERIAL AND
methodsAll participants (n = 63) were offered supportive telephone contact over a period of 8 weeks at varying frequencies (weekly, fortnightly). In addition patients received cognitive and physical tasks by mail every 2 weeks. In order to examine the acceptance of the support, data collected from clinical routine were included in a treatment observation. Additionally, all participants were asked to evaluate the support retrospectively.
resultsOut of 63 contacted participants, 45 were included in the treatment observation. The telephone support was very well accepted and a tendency towards higher agreement could be ascertained by caregivers. The experience of burden remained stable at a moderate level for all participants; however, caregivers were significantly more burdened.
conclusionThe present treatment observation shows the acceptance of a location-independent psychosocial treatment program for dementia for future pandemics or treatment failure as well as for the routine care, e.g. for patients with restricted mobility or those living in rural areas without direct hospital connection. In particular, our data strengthen the importance of programs for caregivers in order to alleviate their burden.
