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

Vaccines are the most effective strategy to control the spread of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19). Data on COVID-19 among healthcare workers (HCW) pre- and postvaccination are limited. This study aims to evaluate the clinical characteristics and outcomes of HCW with COVID-19 pre- and postvaccination. Retrospective cohort study. All HCWs with suspected COVID-19 were included. Demographic data, occupation, symptoms, work in COVID-19 area, and vaccination status were collected. There were 22 267 HCW visits for suspected COVID-19; 7879 (35.4%) tested positive, and 14 388 (64.6%) tested negative. Fever, cough, fatigue, and dyspnea were positive predictors of COVID-19, and sore throat, headache, coryza, work in a COVID-19 area, and COVID-19 vaccination were negative predictors. Of the total number of visits, 41.2% were from vaccinated HCW and 58.8% were from unvaccinated HCW. Among HCWs with COVID-19, 84 (1.1%) required hospitalization, 11 (0.1%) in an intensive care unit (ICU), with three (0.04%) deaths. Six hospitalizations occurred in vaccinated HCWs, being of short duration, with no need for ICU admission and no deaths. SARS-CoV-2 infection prevalence was high among HCW, and vaccinated HCW had fewer hospitalizations, need for ICU, and deaths. Therefore, vaccines may attenuate COVID-19 severity, and efforts must be concentrated to ensure adequate vaccination for HCW.
