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: Globally, the COVID-19 pandemic has challenged the overall healthcare system. Healthcare workers are an essential workforce during a pandemic as they have been involved in treating patients with COVID-19. They have been exposed to detrimental effects such as high infection and death rates, chronic stress, and fear of uncertainty. Their adaptability in providing care and maintaining psychological equilibrium under unprecedented crises like COVID-19 is poorly understood. Objectives: This study aimed to explore the lived experiences and resilience of hospital pharmacists in the Philippines during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: A qualitative study was conducted among hospital pharmacists in Metro Manila, Philippines. In-depth interviews were conducted virtually using a semi-structured topic guide. Interview transcripts were transcribed verbatim and analyzed using interpretative phenomenological analysis. Results: The two themes that emerged from the data were challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic and the resilience of hospital pharmacists. Under challenges, it was subdivided into workplace and personal challenges. As for resilience, it was composed of positive coping mechanisms and positive outlooks of hospital pharmacists. Conclusions: Hospital pharmacists faced many challenges and learned to adapt to the continued impact of the pandemic. Hospitals are encouraged to implement measures to prepare for future public health crises and provide resources for both physical and mental health meant for hospital pharmacists.
