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
Malnutrition among community-dwelling older adults (OAs) is prevalent, particularly in groups using healthcare services. Malnutrition burdens health, social, and aged-care systems in terms of expenses for hospital admissions and care in nursing homes and home care settings. Effective management requires early identification and multimodal interventions; however, studies report a significant gap between recommended nutrition interventions and current healthcare practices. Therefore, this study aimed to identify, present, and map existing evidence on barriers and facilitators in the implementation of nutrition interventions among OAs living in noninstitutional municipal healthcare settings. A scoping review following the Joanna Briggs Institute guidelines and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) extension for Scoping Reviews checklist were conducted. The study included evidence from bibliographic databases and gray-evidence sources that identify barriers and/or facilitators from stakeholder perspectives that influence the implementation of nutrition interventions for malnutrition prevention or treatment among OAs (≥65 years) in noninstitutional municipal healthcare settings. Stakeholders were OAs, informal caregivers, or healthcare professionals (HCPs). Thirty-seven articles were included and 10 categories identified. Barriers were (1) lack of knowledge and awareness among HCPs, (2) lack of resources, (3) lack of collaboration and communication, (4) missing links between healthcare settings, and (5) poor insight among OAs and caregivers. Facilitators were (1) education and training of HCPs, (2) self-care, (3) person-centered care, (4) technology in nutrition care, and (5) social and psychological factors. Findings from this review indicate an imperative need for targeted implementation strategies for developing evidence-based nutrition home care practice.
