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

This reflection focuses on the salient racial, cultural and political processes in the response to COVID-19, particularly in Hong Kong and Singapore, using a framework that examines safety and certainty or the lack of it. It begins by examining the awful racism internationally toward Chinese and the unique Chinese culinary practices that has become a contentious focus in this pandemic. It will then reflect on the meaning and impact of political contexts, with reference to the use surgical masks in Hong Kong and Singapore. Next, it will discuss the disruptions and discoveries for social work teaching and learning and practice during this turbulent time. The reflection will end by looking at the silver linings, and re-thinking about safety and certainty for individuals and social work development, as the pandemic continues to evolve.
