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
Long-term care (LTC) is not only a concern for elderly individuals but also for their adult children, as the latter often provide financial support and informal care to their elderly dependents. Adult children may therefore have strong incentives to have their parents purchase LTC insurance. Using data from a 2019 Swiss survey, this article first identifies a set of variables, including self-reported interest about LTC insurance, whether elderly parents live with their children and if the latter have provided informal help with personal care, which help predict the interest of adult children in having their parents covered against LTC risk. Second, it investigates the main characteristics of children's motives for influencing their parents to purchase LTC insurance, which are classified as either altruistic, i.e. related to parental well-being, or self-interested, i.e. related to the child's well-being. The results offer valuable insights for both policymakers and insurers when designing public LTC policies and LTC insurance products.
