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
This paper describes how health and social services are governed and organized across Canada for two patient groups. Governance configurations and governance proximity between primary care and priority health and social services varied markedly between provinces. While the need for integrated service delivery has been made a clear priority during the COVID-19 pandemic, the potential of Canada's healthcare systems has not yet translated into coordinated and integrated care for health services, much less for health and social services. It is time to act on the policy recommendations from commissioned reports over the past two decades that focus on comprehensive, community-based care.
