Late-onset PTSD and coping strategies for frontline nurses during the COVID-19 epidemic in China.
Article in Nursing open, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
aimTo evaluate the late-onset post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) situation, coping strategies and social supports for frontline clinical nurses 6 months after involvement in fighting against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak in China.
designA cross-sectional design.
methodsWe recently randomly distributed a questionnaire online to Chinese nurses who had taken care of COVID-19 patients since the end of January 2020. The questionnaire was made up of three professional scales, the impact of event scale-revised, simplified coping style questionnaire and social support rating scale included.
resultsThe general prevalence of late-onset PTSD among frontline nurses was 88.19%. Nurses who worked in Hubei Province (the kindle place of the COVID-19 outbreak) showed lower risk of late-onset PTSD symptoms than those who did not. We also found that positive coping strategies were correlated with less late-onset PTSD symptoms. Meanwhile, getting more social supports could help these nurses to obtain positive coping strategies.
