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: People experiencing homelessness (PEH) utilize the emergency department (ED) at higher rates than the general population. Emergency medicine (EM) physicians would benefit from increased exposure to homeless healthcare, including street medicine, which provides mobile care to PEH. Thus, leveraging a relationship with a local healthcare organization for the homeless, this project aimed to implement a street medicine experience for first-year EM residents and evaluate resident perceptions of the experience. Methods: By partnering with an existing street medicine program, we piloted an elective one-day experience for first-year EM residents. Residents were invited to complete pre- and post-experience surveys using the Health Professionals' Attitude Toward the Homeless Inventory (HPATHI), augmented with additional Likert scale and qualitative questions. We calculated descriptive statistics and performed analysis of free-text answers using inductive and in vivo codes. Results: We successfully piloted and integrated a street medicine experience into the curriculum of an EM residency program. 17/17 (100%) residents of the first-year class participated in the elective. 13/17 (76%) of residents completed the pre-survey and 9/17 (53%) of residents completed the post-survey. Although there were no statistical differences between pre- and post-surveys, major themes from free text responses included (1) practice-changing insights into systems- and community-based challenges within the lived experiences of PEH, and (2) interest in additional education dedicated to street medicine. On average, residents found the experience to be useful (mean 4.0, standard deviation [SD] 1.40) and valuable (mean 4.4, SD 1.01), felt more comfortable caring for PEH (mean 4.6, SD 0.73), and had a better understanding of community resources (mean 4.6, SD 0.73) after the experience. Conclusion: We demonstrated the feasibility of incorporating a street medicine pilot experience into EM resident education, and, on average, residents perceived this experience as a valuable and useful addition to their education.
