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
backgroundOlder adult care homes in England must develop care plans on behalf of their residents and make them available to care providers. There is currently a lack of formal agreement around the key principles that should inform the care planning process.
objectiveThe study aimed to develop a set of key principles for care planning in older adult care homes in England.
methodsWe developed 78 evidence-based items and presented them to a panel of health and social care professionals with experience of care planning. We used two online rounds of Delphi to generate consensus (≥ 75%) on items to include in a set of key principles for care planning.
resultsA set of key principles, comprising 81 items, were developed. One-hundred participants completed Round 1, and 80 participated in Round 2. Three percent (n = 4/78) of the Round 1 statements did not reach agreement. Revisions primarily related to the terminology used, clarification of language and an increased emphasis on care home residents' consent and autonomy. Agreement was achieved on all statements (n = 78/78) in Round 2.
conclusionSubstantial agreement was achieved regarding the document's content. Future research should (a) look to develop a resource for the family and friends of care home residents to enhance their participation in care planning and (b) explore how these principles can be put into practice. REPORTING
methodStudy reporting was guided by the Conducting and REporting of DElphi Studies (CREDES) framework. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: Two public involvement advisers with lived experience of caring for a relative living in a care home worked with researchers to develop the key principles and Delphi survey, recruit panel members, interpret the results from the two rounds and assist with revising the items.
