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.
2 · The registryThe 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.

6 · The paper itselfAbstract
COVID-19 self-test kits were distributed to low-income, homebound older adults with their home-delivered meals annually (2022-2024). A convenience sample of recipients completed follow-up surveys in 2022 (n = 271), 2023 (n = 295), and 2024 (n = 285). In 2023, 28% had ever used a COVID-19 self-test, which increased to 39% in 2024 and is comparable to a national study (27%). Through partnerships with trusted meal-delivery providers, homebound older adults can achieve rates of COVID-19 self-testing comparable to those of the broader population. (
