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
Aim: To assess distress, insomnia, and psychosocial impact of SARS-CoV-2 outbreak on children with SLE and their caregivers. Methods: Patients with pSLE undergoing treatment in the Department of Pediatrics, PGIMER, Chandigarh, and their caregivers were enrolled. Questionnaires were sent to eligible patients and their parents through email or WhatsApp and telephonic interviews were conducted. Self-designed SLE-COVID-19 stress questionnaire; Peritraumatic Distress Inventory; Insomnia Severity Index, Positive and Negative Affect Schedule were used. Ethical approval was sought from Institutes Ethics Committee (IEC/2020/000583). Results: Telephonic connection was possible with 80 families (160 participants). Telephonic contact was possible with 80 families (160 participants); off these 61 children with pSLE (78.2%) and 55 caregivers (70.5%) responded to the questionnaire. Among participants, 23% patients, and 21.8% caregivers were severely stressed about SARS-CoV-2 infection; 78.7% patients and 80% caregivers had heard about hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) being used for the treatment of COVID-19; 52.7% caregivers exhibited moderate concern about shortage of HCQ; and 52.5% patients, and 43.6% caregivers were worried about side effects of HCQ. We found that 20 (32.8%) patients and 18 (32.7%) caregivers experienced significant distress. Majority of participants reported sleep disturbances. High positive affect scores were seen in 40 (65.5%) patients and 43 (78.2%) caregivers, low positive affect scores were noted in 21 (34.5%) patients and 12 (21.8%) caregivers. Conclusion: Patients with pSLE and their caregivers are at risk of psychosocial problems during the COVID-19 pandemic. Psychological interventions can be very helpful.
