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
backgroundWhilst gendered violence and other gendered health impacts of disasters are well rehearsed in the literature, relatively less attention has been paid to women's important role in supporting the health and well-being of communities during the peak and aftermath of extreme weather-related events such as floods.
objectivesThis article explores the gendered dimensions of rural Australian community disaster responses and resilience building, highlighting women's experiences of and contributions to community health and well-being, disaster governance and leadership in the community setting.
designThe article presents a case study from the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales, Australia, a rural area on the front line of the climate crisis having been subjected to compounding disasters in the last decade including catastrophic flooding.
methodsThe qualitative study draws upon: semi-structured interviews with community members, government, not for profit and businesses; notes from public events; a research diary and transcripts from a New South Wales Government flood response inquiry.
resultsThe results of this study suggest that following the 2022 floods, women have made significant and enduring local contributions to the health, well-being and recovery of communities across the Northern Rivers region. Despite challenges in accessing power and decision-making, women played an essential role in community problem solving and circumnavigated challenges using collaborative local approaches. However, women often paid the cost of undertaking these roles through negative impacts on their own health and well-being.
conclusionThis study reveals that after disasters, masculinised labour benefits from support and recognition while the prolonged work of women to support the health and well-being of their communities persists without these privileges. Further studies are needed on how women and their leadership strengths can be recognised and supported to enable ongoing health and well-being of disaster-affected communities, including the health and well-being of women organisers themselves.
