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
purposeThe purpose of the study was to explore adolescents' experiences of being a sibling of a child with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and how diabetes affects the family.
methodsA descriptive qualitative study was conducted in Norway through individual, semistructured interviews with adolescents (16-20 years) who had been siblings of a child with T1D before the age of 18. All interviews were audio recorded and transcribed verbatim. Thematic analysis, as described by Braun and Clarke, was used to analyze the data.
resultsFour main themes were identified during the analysis, each comprising related subthemes. The main themes were (1) the start was difficult, but it gradually got better; (2) diabetes affects the atmosphere in the family; (3) a desire to be included; and (4) diabetes affects everyday life to a great extent.
conclusionsThe findings of the study confirmed that T1D has a major impact on a family's everyday life, but the siblings experienced that it affected the family dynamics both positively and negatively. Siblings expressed a desire for more information and support from health care professionals and a desire to be included in the diabetes management of their sibling with T1D. The findings highlight the need for health care professionals to include siblings in diabetes education and follow-up.
