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

Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess the self-reported depression, anxiety, and stress responses of chiropractors in South Africa during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: This was an explorative cross-sectional survey. The survey was distributed to 884 chiropractors through the membership databases of the Chiropractic Association of South Africa and the Allied Health Professions Council of South Africa from July 9, 2020, until August 4, 2020. The study was conducted through Google Forms and included the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale questionnaire. Data were analyzed using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Shapiro-Wilk tests and comparatively using the Mann-Whitney Results: The response rate was 17%. The chiropractor scores for depression, anxiety, and stress were within the normal range (7.35, 5.42, and 11.58, respectively). Female chiropractors under the age of 40 years old were found to be affected to a greater degree than the other participants in this study (9.87, 7.56, and 14.14). Conclusion: Self-reported levels for stress, anxiety, and depression among chiropractors in South Africa were found to be within normal limits during the initial phase of the COVID-19 pandemic.
