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 growing fatigue of citizens due to the COVID-19 pandemic has already been addressed and its results are visible and threatens citizen compliance. The aim of this study was to translate and validate the Pandemic Fatigue Scale (PFS) in the Greek language. A cross-sectional study was conducted between October 2021 to March 2022. The translation and cultural adaptation process was developed according to the research protocols among the university student population in Cyprus and tested the psychometric properties of PFS. Three hundred thirty-four subjects participated in the study through a web survey, which included general information and the study process. The internal consistency for the total PFS showed good reliability (six items, a = 0.88). A weak statistically significant positive correlation was found between the PFS and the Greek versions of Generalised Anxiety Disorder Assessment—GAD-7 (r = 0.1.96; p < 0.001) and the PFS and Patient Health Questionnaire—PHQ-9 (r = 0.173; p = 0.002) demonstrating good concurrent validity. Recovering from the pandemic, it is necessary to build systems to detect and respond to future healthcare crises. The results suggest that the psychometric properties of the Greek PFS are satisfactory. The measure of pandemic fatigue allows for identifying fatigue groups for targeted interventions and testing how pandemic fatigue might be reduced in such situations.
