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 immediate spread of COVID-19 posed a great deal of strain on healthcare personnel, particularly emergency personnel. Considering the critical role of frontline health care personnel (HCPs) during the pandemic and the life-threatening effects of COVID-19 on them, the present study aimed to evaluate the hospital database among frontline emergency personnel, and to assess the factors affecting the health status of the emergency HCPs. In the current study, we collected data on coronavirus clinical features from 58 HCPs with confirmed COVID-19 who worked in the emergency ward of Baqiyatallah Hospital, Tehran, one of the most referral hospitals in Iran. We also assessed the factors affecting the health status of the emergency HCPs from February 2020 to November 2020. All of the 58 HCPs infected with COVID-19 were the personnel of the emergency ward with an age range of 20-59 years old. The median (interquartile range) of hospital length of stay (LOS) among all patients was 8 days. Length of stay is a critical factor in predicting hospital resource needs. Twelve (21.8%) patients had ground-glass opacity (GGO) alone, and 20 (35.7%) patients had patchy GGO. In our multivariable analysis, high levels of patient liver enzymes (P=0.04) and lymphopenia (P=0.01) were significantly associated with the LOS. In our study, there was an association between high levels of patient's ESR and CRP and longer LOS. We also found that age and gender had no effect on LOS. Nurses contributed to the highest number of COVID-19 infection. It was also found that HCPs who had more working shifts were more infected, and the intensive care unit of the emergency ward was the most infected area of the Emergency Room.
