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
This study aimed to explore psychological problems and related factors among frontline primary healthcare workers who belongs to community health service centers and directly provides medical security services to community residents during the COVID-19 in Shanghai. We used a cross-sectional data analysis design to investigate the anxiety and depression levels of 929 frontline healthcare staff (primary healthcare providers, nurses, village doctors, and public health workers) during the Shanghai epidemic.The prevalence of depression among frontline primary healthcare workers was 39.7% (369 cases) and that of anxiety was 30%(279 cases). There was a significant correlation between the depression symptoms and anxiety symptoms. And factors associated with depression were being female, advanced education, expecting psychological interventions, expecting vacations as a reward, and expecting financial rewards. Factors strongly associated with anxiety were being female, expecting psychological interventions, and expecting vacations as a reward. Psychological problems among frontline primary healthcare workers merit more attention during the COVID-19 outbreak, especially those who are vulnerable (e.g., females and those with an advanced education).
