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
Background: Burnout and disengagement are common among primary care practitioners (PCPs), particularly those who provide women's health care at the Veterans Health Administration. The shift to virtual care forced by the COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated this issue, which may also impact clinician attrition, the patient-clinician relationship, and ultimately, patient health. Observations: Physicians who participate in the medical humanities have more empathy and experience less burnout. To improve satisfaction and engagement among PCPs who care for women veterans, this large-scale, virtual, interprofessional narrative medicine event was implemented to gain a deeper appreciation of the impact of deployments on women veterans, describe the social and emotional challenges faced by women veterans postdeployment, and identify strategies to support veterans during reintegration. This novel use of medical media resulted in high attendance (> 800 participants) and engagement (> 1700 unique chat messages, with > 80 spontaneous replies). Findings suggest a potential shift in clinician appreciation and a positive impact on the patient-clinician relationship. Conclusions: Medical humanities interventions are feasible on a large-scale virtual implementation. This curriculum demonstrates the successful utilization of women veterans' stories for demonstrating a positive clinician impact as evidenced by the extensive participation, engagement, and participant satisfaction.
