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
An increasing number of children with complex life-limiting and life-threatening conditions are being cared for at home by their parents. Negative impacts on maternal health are now being recognised. This study sought to voice parental experiences to determine what matters most; explore day-to-day decision making and Advance Care Planning; and to inform local service development. Seven mothers from one community nursing service were interviewed using a semi-structured qualitative approach during the Coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. Seven data-driven themes were identified following six phase thematic analysis: cherishing normality; navigating the system; being proactive; meaningful connections; beginner to expert - and back; they're not any child - they're my child; and Coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. Practice implications include early discussion of what matters most and benefits of written plans to ensure fair access to treatment for children with complex health. Mothers highlighted that sharing their story enhanced their sense of coping and purpose. Increased support at times of vulnerability and permission to explore decisions were highly valued.
