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

objectivesAfter the World Health Organisation (WHO) declared COVID-19 a global pandemic, various countries took preventive health measures to limit the spread of the coronavirus. The quality of life (QOL) of many populations was affected by lockdown and social distancing. The pandemic increased healthcare professionals' workload and decreased doctors' QOL. Our study aimed to evaluate the QOL of doctors in southern provinces of Morocco during the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, the study compared QOL of the two genders at that time.

methodsThis was a cross-sectional and descriptive study. The sample included 257 doctors practicing in the southern provinces of Morocco. To assess QOL, we used the online self-administered WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire, which evaluates QOL in four domains: physical, mental, social and environmental. The cut-off between good and poor QOL was 60.

resultsAll doctors showed poor QOL in all domains. The mean scores and standard deviations for the physical, mental, social, and environmental domains were 57.88 ± 17.12, 57.09 ± 20.13, 55.57 ± 23.66 and 47.99 ± 17.34, respectively. Comparing the two genders, males had a higher QOL than females with a statistically significant difference (p-value ≤ 0.05) in all domains. Both men and women had poor QOL in the environmental domain (less than 60). Doctors who worked directly in the COVID-19 circuit had poorer QOL in all domains. Even with scores lower than 60, males working in COVID-19 circuit had better QOL compared to females, except in the social domain.

conclusionSouthern Moroccan doctors' QOL was reduced in all domains. All doctors working in COVID-19 circuit had poor QOL, and women's scores were even lower than those of men.
