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

Energy is an increasingly important social and public health concern. It is essential for good health and a prerequisite for basic needs in the household. Public health emergencies like COVID-19 have been known to be associated with mental health crises such as increased levels of loneliness, depression, and anxiety. A systematic search of the PubMed, Semantic Scholar, and ScienceDirect databases was conducted. After duplicate removal, title, abstract, and content screening, retrieval, and quality assessment, 11 studies met the criteria for this systematic review of articles. This study highlighted that the COVID-19 pandemic created a mental health crisis associated with various factors, particularly energy insecurity. The social implications for this study show that it is important for individuals and the public health community to recognize the impact that energy insecurity has on the population more specifically recognizing how energy insecurity affects mental health. Public health measures should focus on getting direct help to households that are struggling to keep the home at a safe temperature and pay their energy bills.
