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
purposeTo examine the association between home care provision (combined paid formal home care and non-paid family-only home care) versus non-paid family-only home care with quality of life (QoL) of older adults, as well as the mediating effects of loneliness, social isolation and satisfaction with family relationships and support.
methodsA convenience sample of 360 Israeli dependent adults aged 65 + responded to questionnaires. Using bootstrapping, we tested the strength and significance of the conditional indirect effects of the four simultaneous mediators.
resultsUsing combined home care provision (paid formal home care and non-paid family-only home care) versus non-paid family-only home care for older adults was associated with lower QoL of care-recipients (B = - 4.57, t = - 2.24, p = 0.001, 95% CI - 8.58, - 0.56; R
conclusionsUsing combined formal home care might reduce the QoL of care-recipients by increasing their feelings of loneliness, social isolation and reduced perceived family support. Practitioners should encourage family members to continue with family regular support and contact alongside the use of formal home care in order to maintain satisfaction and QoL of older relatives.
