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
An emerging practice amongst lawyers in England and Wales is the use of clinical supervision, as used by counsellors and psychotherapists. This is a very different type of supervision to that traditionally used by lawyers. It is reflective and relational in nature. It aims to support safe, competent and ethical practice, and to contribute to sustainability, support and resilience including in relation to vicarious trauma and burnout. This study uses interviews with lawyers who are using clinical supervision to understanding why it is being sought, how it might be working and what its impacts are. The interviews provide an opportunity to examine interpersonal dynamics of lawyering. The study explores how supervision allows lawyers to develop their understanding of themselves in relation to others, their boundaries and legal professional skills, and how supervision can contribute to the best interests of the client, and to a lawyer's career sustainability and wellbeing.
