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
Introduction: Many families in Singapore rely on Foreign Domestic Workers (FDWs) for domiciliary eldercare. However, FDWs often lack confidence and competence in providing basic healthcare to older adults, potentially compromising their health outcomes. This pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) determined the feasibility, usability and effectiveness of E-CHEER, a prototype multilingual mobile-health application to upskill their domiciliary caregiving competency to senior care-recipients. Methods: Sixty FDW-employer dyads from two local public primary care clinics were recruited and randomized to intervention ( Results: Recruitment rate was 50.4% (60 dyads recruited from 119 approached). Among the 49 dyads who completed the study (retention 81.6%), almost all of them completed their assigned tasks. The intervention group showed significant intra-group improvements in BPM ( Discussion: Implementation of E-CHEER app was feasible based on the response and retention rates and was effective in improving FDWs' supervision of their care-recipients during ambulation, but its usability needs enhancement.
