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: Long-term home nursing care is care for patients who do not qualify for inpatient treatment, and for various reasons are unable or unwilling to receive care in long-term facilities. Patients receiving such care are of various ages, with varying degrees of disabilities that limit their independent functioning. Their condition is caused by chronic diseases, traffic accidents or genetic diseases. In many cases, in a short period of time they turn from being professionally, socially active people to becoming dependent on third parties. Acceptance of one's own illness can reduce the negative feelings associated with it, allows one to maintain self-esteem and is of great importance for the subjective feeling of life satisfaction. Aim: The aim of this study was to demonstrate whether a relationship exists among respondents receiving long-term home nursing care between the level of functional capacity, acceptance of illness and subjective assessment of life satisfaction. Materials and methods: The authors conducted a study among 240 patients under long-term home nursing care in Subcarpathian Voivodeship in Poland. The study used a diagnostic survey as a survey technique. The research tool was a survey questionnaire containing questions on sociodemographic data and standardized research tools: Barthel Scale, Acceptance of Illness Scale (AIS) and Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS). Mann-Whitney U test and Spearman's rho coefficient were used in the statistical analysis. Statistical significance of Results: The average illness acceptance score determined by respondents according to the AIS scale was 16.11 ± 6.57. The minimum level of illness acceptance in the study group was 8 pts., while the maximum was 40 pts. In the course of the analyses, it turned out that only in the group of patients over 65 years of age, life satisfaction increased as the level of illness acceptance increased. The correlation coefficient was statistically significant ( Conclusion: The age of respondents has an impact on life satisfaction of the respondents under long-term home care. The younger the patients, the lower the acceptance of the illness and the worse the evaluation of subjective quality of life. The respondents' level of independence and the duration of long-term care coverage have a positive effect on the acceptance of the illness and the respondents' subjective assessment of life satisfaction.
