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
Some evidence suggests that anxiety deteriorate the immune system. We aimed to determine the effect of anxiety on COVID-19 infection in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Our study was conducted with 80 HD patients. State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), and Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) questionnaires were administered between April 15 and May 1, 2020. These patients were followed up for about 8 months and COVID-19 infection, hospitalization, and death rates were recorded. Twenty-one (26%) of the patients were diagnosed with COVID-19 infection. Fourteen out of twenty one (66.6%) of the patients were hospitalized, and 8/21 (38%) of them died due to COVID-19. STAI-S (p= 0.006) and BAI (p= 0.021) scores were found to be higher and STAI-T (p= 0.040) score was found to be lower in HD patients who were infected with COVID-19 compared to without, at the follow-up period. It might be concluded in this study that COVID-19 was more common in anxious HD patients.
