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
purposeThe aim of this study is to describe the essential meaning of the phenomenon of caring relationships in home care for older adults in Denmark, based on their lived experiences of caring relationships with home care nurses.
methodsTen older adults receiving home care from registered nurses were interviewed, and a phenomenological analysis was conducted according to the methodological principles of the reflective lifeworld research approach.
resultsThe essential meaning of the phenomenon is described as "being in an in-between state in which one's existential freedom is enabled or restricted". This involves being forced to relate and adapt to home care nurses as
conclusionsThe phenomenon of caring relationships adds an important aspect to understanding well-being in home care for older adults. To live well in old age, existential concerns must be placed at the core of caring and older adults must be given the possibility to act freely and authentically in order not to feel like an object of care.
