Difficulties of healthcare workers encountered under cohort isolation in a psychiatric hospital during the COVID-19 pandemic: A qualitative study.
Article in Psychiatry research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 examined the experiences of healthcare workers who were quarantined within the psychiatric wards due to COVID-19 and analyzed those experiences with a consensual qualitative research method. Participants experienced (a) difficulties due to the specificity of a mental hospital, including a lack of protocols, noncompliance with quarantine guidelines among patients with severe mental illness, and a shortage of institutions capable of containing confirmed COVID-19 patients with severe mental illness. Furthermore, (b) difficulties related to isolation of the cohort itself included a workforce shortage, physical problems, fear of infection, limited facilities, guilt toward newly confirmed cases, exhaustion, and distress caused by separation from family. The participants also described (c) difficulties related to external factors, including administrative orders and the perceived stigma, and (d) positive experiences. Appropriate support is needed during the COVID-19 pandemic to reduce the difficulties among healthcare workers in psychiatric hospitals. This includes preparation for future scenarios, facilities, and workers in response to outbreaks of infection in psychiatric hospitals that cause unique risks and challenges among those workers.
