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
Aim: This study aims to investigate how the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic impacted service provision of peer-supported addiction services, such as self-help groups or recovery houses and government-owned addiction healthcare services, in Japan, as well as the quality of their interaction. Methods: An online survey was distributed to all 69 public regional healthcare facilities (Mental Health and Welfare Centers [MHWCs]) across the 47 prefectures of Japan annually from 2021 to 2023, totaling three surveys. The survey asked about: (1) the current status of addiction healthcare services at each center, (2) the current status of peer-supported addiction services within each center's area, and (3) changes in connectivity between centers and peer-supported addiction services. Results: All 69 centers participated in the survey each year. Following the second year of the pandemic, both MHWCs and peer-supported services experienced service closures and restrictions; however, peer-supported services were notably more affected nationwide, such as downsizing of services, decreased number of users, shortage of operation funds, and inability to connect with other services being widely reported ( Conclusion: The COVID-19 pandemic significantly affected both types of service, with peer-supported services facing greater challenges in recovery. Additional support is essential to restore these services to normal operation.
