Comparison of peripheral blood T, B, and NK lymphocytes between frontline medical workers for treating patients of COVID-19 and normal outpatient and emergency medical workers in China.
Article in Frontiers in psychiatry, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
The outbreak of the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has led to significant mental stress for frontline medical workers treating patients with confirmed COVID-19 in China. Psychological stress has an impact on the immune system. The number and percentage of lymphocyte subsets are standard indicators of cellular immune detection. Here, we reported the differences in CD3, CD4, CD8, CD19, and CD56 lymphocytes between 158 frontline medical workers and 24 controls from medical staffs of the outpatient and emergency departments. We found that frontline medical workers had significantly lower absolute values and percentages of CD19
