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
Aim: The aim of this study was to improve adherence to the Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare's regulations for documenting decisions regarding Limitations of Life-Sustaining Treatments at Capio St. Göran's Hospital in Stockholm following a limited intervention. Methods: This was a before-and-after-study. The intervention took place in June 2023 and consisted of three parts: 1. Implementation of a modified digital medical record form for documentation of decisions regarding limitations of Life-Sustaining Treatments. 2. A brief educational intervention for physicians at the hospital. 3. Publication of an updated hospital protocol for decisions on limitations of Life-Sustaining Treatments. We analysed 100 randomly selected documentations of limitation of Life-Sustaining Treatments in adult patients before the intervention, and 98 after the intervention. Adherence to individual mandatory criteria and overall adherence to the regulatory requirements was evaluated. Results: Overall adherence to all documentation regulations increased from 1% to 63% ( Conclusion: A moderate intervention in terms of cost and work effort for the organisation can significantly improve adherence to regulations regarding documentation of limitations of Life-Sustaining Treatments, although further improvement is needed.
