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: This study aims to investigate the impact of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) on anxiety symptoms, examining differences of sexual orientation. Methods: A total of 1590 individuals participated, 63% (n = 1002) were females, 88% (n = 1399) self-identified as straight, and all replied to the anxiety subscale of the Brief Symptoms Inventory-18, the Fear of COVID-19, and the COVID-19 Negative Impact scales. Results: Anxiety symptomatology negatively associated with age and positively associated with coronavirus disease-aggravated replies, Fear of COVID-19, and Negative Impact of COVID-19. Hierarchical linear regression examination revealed that age, gender, and sexual orientation explained 8% of the variance of anxiety symptoms, and together with the Fear and the Negative Impact of COVID-19, it explained 28% of the results. Conclusion: Perceived anxiety symptoms were higher than anticipated and aggravated by the COVID-19 pandemic: female and bisexual participants showed higher levels of anxiety symptomatology compared to male and straight, and gay or lesbian participants.
