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
objectivesto describe predictors of depression in health workers in Argentina during SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and to generate a score for their screening.
methodsSubanalysis of the Argentine ImPPaCTS-SAC.20 Survey, including health workers with major depression according to PHQ 9 (Patient Health Questionnaire 9). Predictors were evaluated by multivariate analysis; a new score was constructed in the referral cohort and its cut-off point was determined. whose quality was evaluated in the total cohort and in the validation cohort.
results270 workers (22.1%) had major depression. Predictors of major depression were female gender (p = 0.002), feeling discriminated against (p = 0.001), use of anxiolytics (p = 0.001) and smoking (p = 0.025). A score was prepared with these variables (female gender 2 points, feeling discriminated against 1.5 points, use of anxiolytics 2.5 points and smoking 3 points), with an area under the curve of 0.65 and a cut-off point of 2. In the validation cohort the area under the curve was 0.66. Compared with PHQ 9, the negative predictive value was 84%.
conclusionsHealth workers in Argentina had a high prevalence of major depression during the pandemic, associated with predictive factors. A test was developed to detect those who are at low risk for it.
