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 people are entering care homes with more complex conditions and higher levels of physical and cognitive impairment than in previous years. Internationally, it is recognised that there is a need for high-performing leaders who can inspire and support colleagues to use their initiative and respond to the needs of an increasingly frail population in long-term care. The My Home Life Leadership Support Programme is specifically designed to meet the unique needs of care home managers and other staff with leadership roles in their care homes. The programme is grounded in relational, appreciative and collaborative approaches to creating a positive culture of mutually respectful relationships. These relationships include those that are between individuals who use services, their families and care home staff, and between care homes and the wider community.
aimTo explore participating care home leaders' perspectives of the impact of the My Home Life Leadership Support Programme on people who live in care homes and their families.
methodsA qualitative descriptive approach drawing on two different data sources was used in the study. Qualitative summative data were collected at the end of the programme using one-to-one semi-structured interviews with participants (n = 56), and detailed field notes were captured by the My Home Life facilitators over the course of the programme. Thematic analysis was used to analyse interview data. Conventional content analysis was used to analyse the facilitators' documentary evidence. The two analytical techniques were combined for the final results using the process of cognitive mapping.
resultsThree key themes were identified by care home leaders as mattering most to residents and their families. These were (1) supporting residents and families to share their feelings; (2) enhancing relationships between residents, relatives and staff; and (3) involving residents and families in decision-making.
conclusionsThe study provides significant evidence of the impact of the My Home Life Leadership Programme on care home leaders' ability to enhance the care experience of residents and relatives and create a relationship-centred culture. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: My Home Life resources and approaches can support care home leaders in facilitating caring conversations that build trust and engagement, and enhance relationships between residents, relatives and staff.
