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
Background: Registered nurses (RNs) in municipal home care (MHC) encounter patients with illnesses and/or disabilities. When these patients suffer a stressful event, such as the loss of a loved one, there is an increased risk of suffering further ill health. It is unclear whether RNs are aware of patients' grief and how to support and promote their well-being and health. Aims: The aim was to explore RNs' experiences of paying attention to and encountering patients receiving MHC, who are grieving due to the death of a loved one. Methods: This is an exploratory qualitative study with focus groups ( Results: The results show three themes: Conclusion: RNs encountered emotional patients in grief, while they themselves felt inadequate and emotionally affected. Further training in grief and communication, along with organisational support that enables sufficient time with patients and interprofessional collaboration and reflection, is needed to enable holistic, person-centred care.
