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

In March 2020, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak was declared as a pandemic by the World Health Organization. The COVID-19 breached the Taiwanese government's defense, and the Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC) announced a Nationwide Level 3 Alert on May 19, 2021. In summary, the residency training has been affected as follows: less exposure to elective surgeries and decreased training time. In the COVID-19 pandemic era, both my life and career as a surgical resident have been deeply affected. Worries, anxiety, and fear about insufficient training, unfulfilled career development, and unknown future have been prevalent daily. However, surgeons have always managed to confront and overcome difficulties and challenges with courage and fearlessness. Hence, it is also important that we face the COVID-19 pandemic situation and adapt wisely.
