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: This study explores how the collaboration between elderly multimorbid patients and general practitioners contributes to the patient's experience of integrated care in the municipality. The research also investigates whether the municipality's integrative mechanisms creating integrated care can be understood as distributed leadership. Method: In this qualitative study, we conducted a thematic analysis of semi-structured interviews with twenty elderly multimorbid patients living at home and their general practitioners. Results: Analysis of patients' and general practitioners' experience of healthcare service characterized by collective efforts identified four themes: 1) an impression of collective processes as difficult for patients to access and influence; 2) that the fluidity and location of leadership is dependent on the individual patient and his or her health condition; 3) that collective implementation of healthcare services is separated in time, geography and between organizations; and 4) that patients experience individual healthcare workers as specialized and unable to support the medical and holistic goals of the collective. The Direction, Alignment, and Commitment or DAC framework, is used to investigate the capabilities of the collective. Conclusion: To promote distributed leadership and create a patient experience of integrated care in the municipality, healthcare organizations must develop collective processes that enhance patient participation to a greater extent. General practitioners and other healthcare personnel should be encouraged to play a more central role in solving elderly multimorbid patients' healthcare needs in the municipality.
