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
aimTo explore the lived experiences of Thai participants of public mass shooting during the COVID-19 pandemic.
designA phenomenographic research approach was used.
methodsFifteen participants were recruited using purposive and snowball sampling. Data were collected through dialogical interviews and analysed using thematic analysis within a Heideggerian interpretive framework. The study adhered to the Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research (COREQ).
resultsThrough a hermeneutic lens, five interpretive themes were identified: dwelling in the shadow of threat, bearing witness to collective rupture, embodied echoes of trauma, grounding the self through everyday rituals and yearning for attuned care. These themes illuminate survivors' meaning-making amid dual crises and reflect the complex interplay of somatic, psychological and social adaptation.
conclusionThe narratives of survivors underscore the urgent need for trauma-informed, relationally grounded nursing care in the aftermath of mass shooting incidents. The five emergent themes-ranging from embodied fear to the yearning for attuned care-highlight the complex interplay of psychological, social and existential dimensions of trauma. These findings emphasise the importance of holistic, context-sensitive interventions that not only validate survivors' emotional experiences but also foster adaptive coping and social reintegration. By recognising the embodied nature of fear and addressing survivors' multifaceted needs, healthcare professionals can play a pivotal role in facilitating recovery and promoting long-term well-being. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: Fifteen individuals with firsthand experience of mass shootings during the COVID-19 pandemic contributed personal narratives that informed the study's thematic analysis and nursing implications.
