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

objectivesThis study aimed to determine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the psychological, mental health and quality of life among Bangladeshi residents. STUDY

designA purposive cross-sectional study of quality of life during the COVID-19 pandemic was performed.

methodsRespondents completed a modified questionnaire that determined the Impact of Event Scale (IES), indicators of psychological distress impact, impact on government strategies, awareness and lifestyles, and impact on expectation of quality life change. A total of 465 (male = 330 and female = 135) respondents participated in this study.

resultsThe overall mean age of respondents was 28.42 ± 7.07 years, and 63.4%, 44.1% and 50.3% were unmarried, were in the middle-income family group and had a masters or PhD qualification, respectively. The overall mean IES score of respondents was 80.89 ± 8.91, which reflects a stressful impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on physical and mental health problems. Only 27.75% of respondents had an IES score ≥75. More than half of respondents (57.8%) reported that they did not feel lonely and hopeless. In terms of preventative measures, the majority of the respondents (80.2%) reported that they did not wash their hands frequently with soap and sanitiser for at least 20 s to reduce spread of the virus. During the pandemic, more than half of the respondents (56.8%) claimed that they faced serious problems in education.

conclusionsThe ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in significant mental and physical health problems.
