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.

Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to identify the events perceived by support staff as affecting older adults' ability to live at home. It also explored the factors contributing to the perceptions of increasing overtime requirements among staff members supporting these individuals. Materials and Methods: An anonymous online survey was conducted among staff members at community general support centers nationwide. The survey examined the content of decision-making support provided to older adults living alone and the factors that led to the interruption of home-based living. Results: The most common events leading to interruption of home-based care were deteriorating health, emergency hospitalization, and reduced willingness to continue living at home. Factors associated with staff perceptions of increased overtime were greater anxiety about being responsible for supporting older adults living alone (odds ratio: 4.83, 95% confidence interval: 1.72-13.59, Conclusion: As increased overtime may lead to higher turnover rates among staff, administrators should monitor staff anxiety about being assigned to older adults living alone and the increased workload involved, and take appropriate measures to address these issues.
