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
Since early December 2019, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been relentlessly spread worldwide and has hit the healthcare systems with terrible force. Pharmacists play a vital role in the healthcare system in providing medicines, therapeutics, vaccines, clinical services, and other pharmaceutical care services to patients. Therefore, to ensure all these services continued at King Abdulaziz Medical City - Jeddah during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Department of Pharmaceutical Care initiated a departmental crisis preparedness plan, as a part of general hospital preparedness plan. It started with adjusting medication dosing time, instituting a daily medication refill process, working remotely, expanding the use of automation, and modifying employee schedules. Other actions included the following: handling drug shortages, placing restrictions on some medications, using personal protective equipment, changing routine practices of pharmacy aides, revising the medication delivery process, starting a contingency training program, and restricting pneumatic tube operation. We took guidance from the Ministry of Health, our own institute's experience, World Health Organization recommendations, updated scientific research, and the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists regulatory updates. This article aims to describe how health services, policies, and systems were applied and adapted to address a specific problem while maintaining all pharmacy employees' safety. This article reviews the inpatient pharmacy's particular needs and responses to these needs to meet the COVID-19 pandemic challenges.
