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
Objective: In 2020, the world came to a standstill due to the havoc created by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2. The onus of tackling the disease relies largely on healthcare workers. However, other members of society, such as police personnel and sanitary workers, also made a major contribution in disease prevention. Despite working relentlessly, they face stigma caused by misconceptions and false information that create a health gap. This study aimed to determine the level of stigma and discrimination against coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) warriors, understand its effects, and assess the community perception of the causes of stigmatization. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted for 6 months. The sample size was time-bound, and a mixed method of sampling was employed. A total of 78 COVID-19 warriors and 68 participants from the community were enrolled. Stigma assessment was based on four domains: anticipated stigma, experienced stigma, internalized stigma, and disclosure concerns. Relevant tests of significance were applied, and the data are presented in percentages and ratios. Results: Of the participants, 46.1% were in the age group of 30-40 years, 47% were males, and 81% were doctors by profession and were engaged in a minimum of 6-12 h of duty for 2 weeks. Of the study population, 85.5% had anticipated stigma, whereas 72.2% had experienced stigma, 43.4% had internalized stigma, and 76.3% had disclosure concerns. Internalized stigma was found to be significantly associated with age (p<0.05) and personal attributes (p<0.05). Of the community participants, 47.1% had a doctor in their neighborhood, and contracting COVID-19 was the primary concern of 44.1% due to the presence of a COVID-19 warrior in their vicinity. Other concerns, such as having to take extra precautions and social distancing being compromised, were also reported. Conclusions: A significant level of stigma was experienced by COVID-19 warriors, causing a negative impact on their mental well-being.
