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

Minority healthcare worker (MHW) experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic has received little attention in the published literature compared to their majority counterparts. This study describes healthcare systems, mental health, and advocacy challenges that MHWs experienced during the pandemic in the United States. A descriptive cross-sectional design was used to gather data from a convenience sample (n = 74) of MHWs who identified as registered nurses, advanced nurse practitioners, physicians, pharmacists, nursing assistants, dentists, and respiratory therapists. Data were imported into SAS Version 9.4 (Cary, NC) for analysis. Responses to each survey question were tabulated, and percentages of participants responding in the affirmative to each health system, mental health, and advocacy question were displayed. Findings indicate the pandemic both exacerbated old and imposed new challenges. Health systems should offer both tangible and intangible or emotional resources that support resilience; build an inclusive work environment that would consider the experiences and knowledge of MHWs; implement and sustain workplace changes that support and promote self-advocacy without fear of retribution; and increase research on MHWs to inform effective and culturally relevant interventions for challenges experienced by MHWs.
