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
Introduction: The Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games posed logistical challenges for healthcare delivery, particularly for maintaining home-based cancer treatments amidst road closures and 15 million visitors. The Hospital at Home (HaH) program of Greater Paris University Hospitals (AP-HP) implemented innovative strategies to ensure uninterrupted care during this period. Methods: HaH deployed a "Games Pass" system for its fleet of 500 vehicles and introduced electric bicycles and optimized pedestrian routes to address accessibility constraints. Dedicated lanes, in collaboration with city officials, ensured timely care. Personalized care plans were developed, accounting for patient locations and event schedules. Drug preparation was centralized, and advanced cold-chain methods facilitated delivery. Strategic pre-positioning of vehicles and personnel within restricted zones ensured continuous care, supported by real-time coordination through a dedicated management team. Results: Between July 26 and September 8, 2024, HaH administered 1,946 chemotherapy/immunotherapy sessions to 535 patients (median age 72, IQR 60-79), including 29 pediatric cases. This represented 4.76% of AP-HP's total treated cancer patients, a significant increase from 2023 (3.9%, Conclusion: The HaH program ensured continuity of care during the Games, highlighting the importance of flexibility, real-time problem-solving, and patient-centered planning. These strategies offer valuable insights for improving routine HaH operations and managing healthcare during large-scale events.
