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
backgroundA national tragedy occurred between October 2015 and June 2016 when psychiatric patients with profound intellectual disabilities were transferred from psychiatric care centres to non-governmental organisations (NGOs). The process of transferring psychiatric patients had severe consequences for psychiatric patients and psychiatric nurses.
objectivesThe study's objective was to explore and describe psychiatric nurses' experiences after the closure of Life Esidimeni psychiatric care centres.
methodA qualitative, exploratory, descriptive and contextual research design was employed. Semi-structured interviews were utilised to collect data. Purposive sampling was utilised to select eight psychiatric nurses to participate in the study. Data were analysed using Tesch's thematic method of coding.
resultsThe analysis of data revealed the following themes: With the closure of the care centres participants experienced (1) shock, dismay and life interruption; (2) trauma related to the disintegration, of psychiatric patients' lives, their own families and work-life and (3) sense of resilience.
conclusionFrom the findings, it is clear that the psychiatric nurses needed support as evidenced by the challenges they experienced. The healthcare professionals in mental health and mental health nursing post-graduate students could conduct further research focusing on the experiences and the impact that the closure of Life Esidimeni psychiatric care centres have on the psychiatric nurses' mental health.Contribution: This study contributes to the body of knowledge in psychiatric nursing by highlighting the impact of hospital closure on psychiatric nurses.
