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

The global conflict with the new coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has led to frequent visits to hospitals and medical centers. This significant increase in visits can be severely detrimental to the body of the healthcare system and society if the physical space and hospital staff are not prepared. Given the significance of this issue, this study investigated the performance of a hospital COVID-19 care unit (COCU) in terms of the resilience and motivation of healthcare providers. This paper used a combination of artificial neural networks and statistical methods, in which resilience engineering (RE) and work motivational factors (WMF) were the input and output data of the network, respectively. To collect the required data, we asked the COCU staff to complete a standard questionnaire, after which the best neural network configuration was determined. According to each indicator, sensitivity analysis and statistical tests were performed to evaluate the center's performance. The results indicated that the COCU had the best and worst performance with respect to self-organization and teamwork indicators, respectively. A data envelopment analysis (DEA) method was also used to validate the algorithm, and the SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats) matrix was eventually presented to recommend appropriate strategies and improve the performance of the studied COCU.
