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
objectiveIn May 2024, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, faced the greatest climate catastrophe in its history when a flood affected approximately 90% of the entire state territory. This study aimed to describe the strategic actions of volunteers gathered by a social institution linked to a private hospital in southern Brazil and their impacts on the affected community.
methodsDescriptive study, based on the experience of the team at the Instituto Moinhos Social (IMS) - Hospital Moinhos de Vento (Rio Grande do Sul - Brazil), which brought together a group of volunteers to develop actions in response to the flood. Between 05/01/2024 and 07/31/2024, the IMS organized donations of basic items, health care, and monetary donations to recover goods for people affected by the flood. RESULTS DESCRIPTION: The IMS had 583 volunteers working in the phase of receiving, organizing, and distributing donations and 208 health professionals for emergency care, mental health, and telemedicine. In total, approximately 317 thousand basic items were organized and distributed, which benefited almost 100 thousand people; 1044 people received health care; and 490 families received vouchers worth R$2,500 (US$455,66) for the recovery of material goods.
