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
During the COVID-19 outbreak a four-level alert system placed social restrictions on New Zealanders to minimise the spread of the virus. Hospices provided community-based care reduced to telecommunications in some regions. Marae (ancestorial gathering places) were closed, and families had to stay in their 'bubbles.' This article presents the findings of the Rapua te Mārama study to highlight bereaved Māori families end of life caregiving, death and tangihanga (funeral) experiences during COVID-19 Lockdowns. We highlight how the disruptions impacted Māori death customs and how whānau adapted. Lockdowns impacted the relational processes that underpinned whānau caregiving. Due to the pandemic restrictions there was a lack of palliative care provision within the home. Tangihanga (funeral customs) and Māori death customs were affected; despite this whānau honoured the rangatiratanga (self-determination) of their ill and dying.
