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
aimThe aim of this study was to describe registered nurses' experience of person-centred care through digital media during the COVID-19 pandemic. The first wave of COVID-19 took healthcare services worldwide by surprise and affected all levels of care. Registered nurses within primary care settings had to adjust to new meeting forums with patients and in collaborations with other organisations to transfer patients from hospital to home care in a safe and secure manner using digital aids.
designInterviews with 17 registered nurses within primary care settings were conducted. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and analysed using qualitative content analysis.
methodsQualitative using semi-structured interviews.
resultsDigitalisation requires organisational changes, with four subcategories. The second category, digitalisation, facilitates person-centred care, with two subcategories. Main findings showed digitalisation as a possibility to enhance person-centred care to benefit the individual. The patients would have the possibility of obtaining professional care in their own home, enhancing the continuation of care. Digitalisation of primary care tasks demanded organisational changes of different kinds. This meant implementing innovative digital tools or artificial intelligence and developing a mental frame of mind that embraces new ways and activities to perform primary care through technology. PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: Registered nurses saw enhancement of person-centred care through digital media as something positive. However, they also voiced concerns that some patients, such as self-damaging teenagers, new patients and multi-sick patients, would be unsuitable for digital meetings. They also emphasised that the digitalisation of person-centred care requires organisational changes. The study addressed the problems faced by the rapid conversion from traditional face-to-face care to digital care in the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic within a primary care setting. There is a need for continued education on best communication practices with a primary focus on person-centred care. Since communication is key in the continuation of care, this needs to be addressed by both health centre management and educators.
