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: The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly disrupted family life globally, altering daily routines and impacting family quality of life (FQOL). This study explores the changes in family routines during the pandemic lockdowns and their correlation with FQOL. Methods: Participants included 253 families with children aged 3 to 18, recruited through an online survey. Families completed the Family Routines Inventory and the FQOL Scale, reporting on both pre-pandemic and during-pandemic conditions. Data analysis included principal component analysis and regression analysis to identify changes in routine frequency and importance and their predictive relationship with FQOL. Results: The principal component analysis resulted in three distinct factors of family routines, highlighting significant shifts in the frequency and importance of these routines from before and during COVID-19. Notably, routines involving within-family interactions increased, whereas those involving external interactions decreased. Regression analysis showed that the frequency of within-family interactions (Factor 1) and the importance of general morning and evening routines (Factor 3) significantly predicted FQOL, accounting for 24% of the variance in FQOL scores during the pandemic. Conclusion: The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the critical role of family routines in maintaining FQOL in times of crisis. Interventions aimed at supporting families should consider enhancing the adaptability and resilience of family routines to foster well-being during unpredictable stressors. Future research should continue to explore the dynamics of family routines and their impact on FQOL across different types of crises.
