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
introductionThe COVID-19 pandemic has led to major changes in the day-to-day operations of residential care facilities. Little is known about the impact it has had on professionals working in nursing homes in Spain. This research arose from the need to explore the situation experienced during the pandemic and to delve into the experiences as narrated by professionals working in nursing homes. The aim of the RESICOVID study was to analyze the effects on professionals of the measures taken in response to the COVID-19 pandemic in nursing homes. MATERIAL AND
method31 professionals (mean age: 32.9 years; 83.8% women, in various areas of care) were interviewed. Seventy-one percent of the sample presented a diagnosis of COVID-19. The analysis was performed with the Atlas-ti v8 program.
resultsFrom the analysis of the interviews, 128 quotations were extracted, coded in the following dimensions: 1. experience of confinement; 2. perception of changes; 3. health problems; 4. cognitive and functional changes; 5. loneliness.
conclusionsBurnout, overload, lack of resources and uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic have generated feelings of fear, exhaustion, anxiety, frustration and sadness in professionals who continue to this day without sufficient resources to face the situation. The design of contingency plans for future health crises should take into account this impact on care professionals.
