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

Introduction: During the COVID-19 pandemic, different events arose worldwide, including the impact on the mental health of health personnel. Our main aim was to determine the association between sociodemographic, clinical, tobacco and alcohol abuse, and fear of COVID-19 variables with the presence of depressive symptoms in a healthcare facility, in Bogotá DC, in 2022. Materials and methods: Analytical cross-sectional study. Sociodemographic and clinical variables, alcohol and tobacco abuse, and fear of COVID-19 were explored. The presence and severity of depressive symptoms were evaluated with the PHQ-9 scale. Descriptive analysis and chi-square tests were performed. Statistically significant variables ( Results: 597 people were included, 80% female. The median age was 34 years (Interquartile Range [IQR]: 28-41. The prevalence of depressive symptoms was 12.4% (95% CI: 9,74-15,05). The multivariate analysis showed that fear of COVID-19, tobacco use, age under 28, and middle socioeconomic status were the factors that best explained the presence of depressive symptoms. Conclusions: Two years after COVID-19 was declared a pandemic, the prevalence of depressive symptoms is 12.4%. It is necessary to carry out strategies to promote mental health in health professionals.
