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
On October 7th, 2023, a deadly attack was launched on southern Israel from the Gaza Strip followed by major clashes along the Israel-Lebanon border. In the following days, approximately 2.5% of the Israeli population was evacuated from their homes, many of whom were directly affected by the violence Many evacuees were housed in Eilat, a small geographically peripheral city known for its holiday atmosphere in the southernmost part of Israel. The horrors of the terror attacks and the war, the unprecedented number of evacuees, and the highly limited mental health resources available in this remote city have combined to create an overwhelming demand for mental health services, which required the deployment of special measures. In this report from the field, we discuss our experiences in sending the first organized, organic teams to provide primary mental health support to the evacuees, with the supervision of Shalvata Mental Health Center, located over 300 km away from Eilat. Our experience highlights the need for proper preparation, planning, and practice for large-scale mental health support intervention in mass evacuation events and points to several successful and suboptimal practices for future deployment.
