1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 AND

aimsWith regard to the disease pandemics of HIV/AIDS, it is clear that there is need for prevention, treatment, care, and support of HIV positive patients in the health care system. In order to achieve these goals, job satisfaction should be a priority for health care staff. This study examined the problems of health care personnel and the behavior of patients undergoing HIV/AIDS counseling at Imam Khomeini Hospital in Tehran, Iran.

methodsInterviews were conducted individually with 5 health care personnel who participated in this study. Participants had 30 to 45 minutes each per session at the clinic, during which they were able to discuss the problems they faced in their careers. All conversations were officially recorded.

resultsThe most common problems mentioned by these health care workers included the lack of safety and standardization of work conditions, the lack of appropriate equipment, limited space, high numbers of patients, low staffing levels and financial and morale problems compounded by the lack of support by hospital authorities.

conclusionThe authorities need to allocate more funds to provide facilities and appropriate working conditions for health care staff in order to increase job satisfaction and enable staff to provide the best services and care to HIV positive patients.
