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.

For selecting the study participants after proportional allocation of study subjects to each hospital, simple random sampling techniques were to be used. Data were entered into Epi info version 7.2.0.1, and exported to Statistical Package for Social Sciences window version 24 for analysis. Binary and multivariable logistic regression was used to see the association between dependent and independent variables. Adjusted odds ratio with 95% confidence interval was computed. P-value < 0.05 was used to declare association. Finally, the result is presented in the form of texts, tables, and graphs. Of 166 Nurses, 166 (100% response rate) responded to the online interview questionnaire. Of the participating 166 nurses, 57.2% were females and 42.8% were males; 41.6 % of the respondents were between the ages of 20 and 29 years. About 84.9 % had good knowledge and 63.3% favourable attitude of COVID-19. Wearing general medical masks can prevent one from acquiring infection by the COVID-19 virus.
