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
Canada's healthcare system is struggling to provide primary care and acute care for ever-increasing numbers of patients, who are turning to emergency medical services (EMS) agencies to obtain timely care when in need. Paramedics are experiencing the downstream effects of these challenges, leading to a diversion of ambulances away from the communities they serve, increased call volumes and staff burnout. Well-intended policies, such as a borderless EMS system, should not be used as a stopgap measure to service non-emergency calls, and there should be a defined and enforceable process for returning ambulances to their home communities. Community paramedic and alternative treatment destinations represent an evolving area of paramedic practice that could offer solutions to some of the challenges faced by the healthcare system and relieve some of the occupational issues faced by paramedics. However, to fully realize the benefits offered by some of these changes in paramedic practice, they must adopt evidence-based best practices and be accompanied by relevant changes in paramedic education and supportive government policy.
