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

This study describes Veterans Affairs providers' perceived knowledge gaps for addressing COVID-19 concerns among Veterans generally and specifically among Veterans with a history of military exposures. A needs assessment was conducted through an online survey of 2,818 medical and behavioral health care providers. Results highlight the importance of ongoing education, even in topics for which providers endorsed adequate knowledge (eg, handwashing). Results also accentuated the need for educating providers about effectively communicating with patients regarding concerning medical topics when scientific data is scarce. Implications are discussed.
