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
backgroundA novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) was reported in Wuhan, China late December 2019. The disease has as of the end of March 2020, affected over 35 countries (with over 570,000 cases and 26,000 deaths) worldwide. This includes the U.S., where cases are increasing by the thousands every day (100,000 cases with 1500 deaths as of April 2020). We set out to investigate new or increased stressful life events (SLEs) as a result of this pandemic in the U.S.
methodsIn this exploratory qualitative study, we examined new or heightened SLEs during an active phase of this outbreak. We used a list of SLEs acquired from the first phase of our study, whereby we conducted open-ended surveys and performed an in-depth focus group. We applied Lazarus and Folkman's transactional model of stress and coping to understand diverse focus-group participants' appraisal of events. We coded survey data and applied sentiment analysis.
resultsParticipants varied in perceived threat and challenge appraisals of COVID-19, indicating both calm and fear. From 267 coded and sentiment analyzed events from survey text, 95% were predominantly negative; 112 (42%) very negative and 142 (53%) moderately negative. Social capital was unanimously emphasized upon as monumental for example: family, friends or technology mediated. We additionally identified seven major themes of SLEs due to the pandemic. LIMITATIONS: Our sample profile is not inclusive of all subsets of the population.
conclusionsParticipants mostly shared similar frustrations and a variety of SLEs such as fear of the unknown and concern for loved ones as a result of COVID-19.
