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

backgroundCoronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic can aggravate the health problems in slum areas. The present study intends to examine the challenges of health protection of slum's residences during the COVID-19 pandemic with the Social Determinants of Health perspective, in Kerman city in Iran. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe present study was a qualitative content analysis. Data were collected by purposeful sampling in-depth and semi-structured interviews with 16 people. The interviews were conducted (from October to December 2020) with the local representatives of the slum's residents, health-care workers, managers of facilitation offices, and welfare social service centers that are located in slum areas (Interview's guide is attached). The textual material from the interviews was entered into the MAXQDA software and directed content analysis was used to analyze the data.

resultsData analysis led to the identification of 4 categories (Sociocultural, Situational, Economical, and Physical environment) and 12 subcategories: Sociocultural: lack of awareness, begging culture, low trust in disease control programs, low bottom-up planning, and increasing violence; Situational: decreasing donors' activities and canceling important meetings; Economical: unemployment, decreasing in income, and increasing limitations of many institutions in providing resources; and Physical environment: inadequate space and inappropriate conditions in some houses and alleys for people protection against Corona viruses.

conclusionsSlum residents have faced many challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic. These challenges can affect the health of slum and other urban dwellers. Multidisciplinary thinking and actions are needed. Increase awareness and engagement slum residents in control disease programs should be considered.
