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
Objective: SARS-CoV-2 infection responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated a significant burden on the mental health of health care providers. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the mental health symptoms among osteopathic physicians from a single academic institution during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: This was a cross-sectional, survey-based study conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic from January 2021 to March 2021. The survey was emailed to 4239 alumni physicians from the single medical school in California, USA. Burnout, anxiety, and depression were assessed by the single-item Mini-Z Burnout Assessment, 7-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale, and 2-item Patient Health Questionnaire, respectively. Results: A total of 104 survey responses were analyzed. Of them, 53 (51.0%) were attending physicians and 51 (49.0%) were residents or fellow physicians. Anxiety, burnout, and depression were reported in 29 (29.9%), 31 (32%), and 11 (11.3%), respectively. Females had increased anxiety (OR 1.66, CI 1.21-2.27; P = 0.002). Resident had higher burnout symptoms (OR 1.28, CI 1.06-1.53; p = 0.009) and depression symptoms (OR 1.15, CI 1.01-1.30; p = 0.032) compared to attending physicians. Physicians who encountered >50 COVID-19 patients had higher depression symptoms (OR 1.17, CI 1.02-1.35; p = 0.027). Conclusion: Our survey study demonstrated that osteopathic physicians graduated from a single academic institution experienced symptoms of anxiety, burnout, and depression during the COVID-19 pandemic based on the validated questionnaires. A higher prevalence was shown in the lesser experienced group of residents and fellow physicians compared to more experienced attending physicians. In addition, adjustments to the pandemic have caused a financial burden among osteopathic physicians. Future studies are warranted to assess the long-term effects of the pandemic on mental health among osteopathic physicians.
