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
Objective: The Transitional Care Nursing Service was a 2-year proof-of-concept trial exploring local health system readiness for incorporating integrated, person-centred models of care into existing health service structures within a provincial New Zealand context. Improved patient experience remains a priority in international and local healthcare policy directives. This qualitative study aimed to investigate patient experience by exploring the effectiveness of this integrated care person-centred service from the patients' perspective. Methods: Qualitative, semistructured, face-to-face interviews with 12 patients purposively sampled to achieve maximum variation of patient characteristics within the trial cohort. Interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim before analysing the data using thematic analysis supported by a general inductive approach. Results: Findings demonstrated that patient interactions with the transitional care nurse positively influenced patient experience, self-reported outcomes and quality of life following hospitalisation and during the transition period between hospital and home. Participants perceived the nurse to be highly skilled in displaying kindness, empathy, accessibility and responsiveness, and communication skills with participants and their families. They perceived that their interactions with this individual team member working from an integrated care paradigm had a positive impact on their overall experience of care and recovery. Conclusion: This study supports the use of integrated care principles to deliver person-centred care. The findings emphasise the need to place kindness, compassion and respect at the heart of care delivered to patients, and suggest these core values are an essential factor in improving patient experience and thus the effectiveness of our healthcare systems.
