Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on staff turnover at long-term care facilities: a qualitative study.
Article in BMJ open, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
objectiveThe objective of this research was to explore the lived experiences of long-term care facilities' staff during the COVID-19 pandemic and examine if and how the pandemic played a role in their decision to leave their jobs.
designQualitative study using thematic analysis of semistructured interviews. Interview transcripts were analysed using coding techniques based in grounded theory.
participantsA total of 29 staff with various roles across 21 long-term care facilities in 12 states were interviewed.
resultsThe pandemic influenced the staff's decision to leave their jobs in five different ways, namely: (1) It significantly increased the workload; (2) Created more physical and emotional hazards for staff; (3) Constrained the facilities and their staff financially; (4) Deteriorated morale and job satisfaction among the staff and (5) Increased concerns with upper management's commitment to both general and COVID-19-specific procedures.
conclusionsStaff at long-term care facilities discussed a wide variety of reasons for their decision to quit their jobs during the pandemic. Our findings may inform efforts to reduce the rate of turnover in these facilities.
