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
Introduction: The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has affected the lives of millions globally. Several interventions were implemented to control the spread of the disease. The precautions affected many aspects of peoples' lives including quality of life. The present study aimed to determine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and preventive measures on the quality of life of the Kuwaiti population. Methods: A cross-sectional analytical study was conducted in 2021 in Kuwait. Two primary health centers were selected from the six health regions in Kuwait. Adult patients attending the selected centers were invited to fill a self-administered questionnaire that is composed of socio-demographic characteristics, COVID-19 infection history, and quality of life using the World Health Organization-Quality of Life sections. The higher the score, the better the quality of life. Results: A total of 505 participants were included with a mean age of 34.67 ± 13.8 years. Most participants were females (n = 309, 61.2%) and had a middle socio-economic status (n = 414, 82.0%). Approximately two-thirds of the participants had COVID-19 infection (64.4%, n = 325) and 88.4% (n = 419) received the COVID-19 vaccine. The overall median score of quality of life was 80 with social (75; 66.67-75) and environmental (75; 75-78.13) domains being the least affected by the pandemic, while the physical domain (64.29; 64.29-67.86) was the most affected domain. Participants who received the COVID-19 vaccine reported better quality of life particularly in social ( Conclusion: COVID-19 pandemic has affected all aspects of people's lives in Kuwait, especially the physical and psychological domains. Although preventive measures are inevitable to control the pandemics, policymakers should consider the impact of any preventive measure on people's quality of life in future pandemics.
