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
purposeThe aim of the study was to describe how the care relationship in primary healthcare has contributed to the recovery of persons with stress-related disorders.
methodsThis study was based on the phenomenological approach, Reflective Lifeworld Research (RLR). Fifteen persons who had recovered from stress-related disorders and who had experience of being cared for in primary healthcare were included. Lifeworld interviews were conducted, and the data were analysed according to the RLR principles of openness, flexibility and bridling.
resultsThe participants experienced that the care relationship in primary healthcare contributed to their recovery from stress-related disorder by enabling them to land and be embraced in a safe relationship. This opened up a space for rest and growth that included time, being listened to and a permitting space for existential reflection based on one's life story. The results also showed that a sense of disharmony in the care encounter constitutes a threat to recovery and reinforces vulnerability.
conclusionsSensing security and hope is a crucial element in the care relationship in primary healthcare when recovering from stress-related disorders. This includes the importance of being treated with respect, being given space to tell one's story, being listened to and being supported in an existential reflection of one's life situation.
