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
objectivesTraining healthcare workers in disaster preparedness has been shown to increase their willingness and ability to report to work during disasters. Little is known, however, about the relation between sociodemographic, household, and workforce characteristics and the desire for such training. Accordingly, this study aimed to assess healthcare workers' desire for additional workforce preparedness training, and the determinants that influence the need for such training, for three types of disasters (natural, pandemic, manmade).
methodsThe US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Preparedness Survey was a random, anonymous, Web-based questionnaire fielded nationwide (October-December 2018). Multivariate, logistic regression analyses were conducted.
resultsIn total, 4026 VA employees, clinical and nonclinical, responded. A total of 61% of respondents wanted additional training for natural, 63% for pandemic, and 68% for manmade disasters. VA supervisors (natural: odds ratio [OR] 1.28, pandemic: OR 1.33, manmade: OR 1.25,
conclusionsIdentifying which factors encourage participation in disaster preparedness training can help hospitals and other healthcare providers create targeted training and educational materials to better prepare all hospital staff for future disasters.
