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

Background: On the frontlines of the pandemic, healthcare providers (HCPs) are overworked, anxious, and fearful. Yet, despite all the fear and anxiety, the facilitation of protective resilience and psychological well-being has become crucial to ensure that minimal intangible psychological losses are incurred due to the pandemic. Aim: The present study aimed to examine the psychological resiliency, state anxiety, trait anxiety, and psychological well-being of frontline HCPs during the COVID-19 and to determine the association among resiliency, state-trait anxiety, and psychological well-being and their links with demographic and workplace factors. Design and Settings: A cross-sectional study concerning frontline HCPs was conducted at two of the largest hospitals in the eastern province of Saudi Arabia. Results: A significant inverse correlation was determined between resilience and state anxiety (r=-0.417, p<0.05) and between resilience and trait anxiety (r=-0.536, p<0.05). Likewise, a positive intermediate correlation between resilience and the age of the individual (r=0.263, p<0.05) and a weak positive correlation with years of experience (r=0.211, p<0.05) were established. Also, the resilience score of volunteer workers (50.9) was lower than that of regular staff (66.8) (p=0.028). Conclusion: Resilience is a crucial factor affecting the training of individuals, which will further promote their work output and mental health capacity, thus improving their overall concept of survival in adversity.
