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

backgroundThis preliminary study aims to understand the state of support provided in the evacuation areas of the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster, during the novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) restriction.

methodsA self-administered survey was conducted with 18 livelihood support counselors from two Social Welfare Councils in November 2020. We investigated the number of consultations since the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact of telephonic consultation as opposed to in-person consultations through visits to counselees' homes.

resultsCounselors have been continued offering supports to their counselees even under the COVID-19 restrictions, in fact, fifty percent of counselors have increased the consultations. Although some counselors had a sense of unease or concern about telephonic consultation due to the inability to see their non-verbal expressions, there were some advantages of telephonic consultation, in that the counselors were able to have longer sessions and listen more attentively to severe issues.

conclusionsNotably, livelihood support counselors in this study have increased the number of consultations while utilization telephonic consultations, despite the adverse conditions created by the COVID-19 restriction. Moreover, certain advantages of telephonic consultation instead of in-person consultation have been identified. It may be an effective support method avoiding in-person contacts, that also considers infection-prevention measures.
