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
Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic brought about an important discussion about the health of primary health care workers who are subject to physical and psychological distress, which may initially be expressed by fatigue and change in quality of life. Objectives: To verify the correlation between fatigue and quality of life of primary health care workers during the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil inland. Methods: Cross-sectional, quantitative study, with the application of three questionnaires: social and demographic; Fatigue Perception Questionnaire; World Health Organization Quality of Life instrument-Abbreviated version. Statistical analysis comparing two or more groups and correlation adopting a significance level of p < 0.05. Results: It included 50 professionals with a mean age of 40.7 ± 9.6 years. High fatigue was evidenced (68.2 ± 17.2 points), and married individuals had a higher level of fatigue than single individuals (p = 0.003). There was also a high general average score in quality of life (85.27 ± 9.6 points), especially in workers with higher education (p = 0.03), as well as in non-smoking professionals (p = 0.02), with higher household income (p = 0.04) and in singles (p = 0.01). Therefore, the correlation was inverse and moderate between fatigue and quality of life (R = -0.44). Conclusions: We found a high level of fatigue and quality of life and an inverse correlation. The results show convergences and divergences with the scientific literature, indicating the need for more studies with primary health care workers.
