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
objectiveTo explore the experiences and perceptions of health and healthcare of clients of a co-designed, community-based service for people with frequent hospital admissions.
designThis qualitative study used semi-structured interviews guided by a schedule that covered each participant's experience and perception of their health and healthcare and experience of receiving care from the service; what is important to them when receiving care; and what, if any, effect being a client of the service had on their health and well-being. Interviews took place in participants' homes, were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim and checked for accuracy. Participants were able to amend their transcript. Using thematic analysis informed by grounded theory, data were independently and iteratively analysed by two investigators and data saturation was reached. The study was guided by principles of qualitative rigour.
settingA nurse-led, multidisciplinary, community-based service comprising a nurse manager, GP, social worker, allied health assistant and administration assistant for people with frequent admissions at a public hospital in Tasmania, Australia.
participantsAny past or existing client was eligible to participate. Twenty were interviewed. Their median age was 78 years, 50% were female and 55% lived alone.
resultsThree themes were identified: (i) the challenges of ageing, (ii) complex care needs require intensive multidisciplinary holistic care and (iii) relationships are central to care and healthcare delivery. The three themes together formed a central organising theme: time to care. Having 'time to care' enabled healthcare workers to provide biomedical and psychosocial care and support and help participants address their challenges of ageing. It also allowed the development of trusting and respectful relationships that were essential to participants when receiving care.
conclusionTo understand and support people with frequent admissions 'time to care' was essential. A range of healthcare workers were required to provide relational aspects of care, as well as individualised and time-intensive care that spanned medical, spiritual, mental and socio-economic dimensions across tertiary, social and community services. Diverse strategies may be needed to allow healthcare workers 'time to care'.
