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

Objectives: To determine the level of COVID-19 anxiety among Filipino nursing students and its predictors, and its associations with their perceived health, sleep quality, and psychological wellbeing. Methods: The study employed a cross-sectional design that administered a survey among selected nursing students in the Central Philippines through purposive sampling. We used self-report questionnaires, such as the COVID-19 Anxiety Scale, the Perceived Stress Scale, and the Psychological Well-Being Scale, and one-item measures for perceived health and quality of sleep. Results: Out of 261 participants, more than half reported dysfunctional anxiety symptoms. Multiple regression analyses revealed that being of male sex and in the fourth-year level in the Nursing program was associated with lower COVID-19 anxiety. Further, nursing students who rated high in perceived health, sleep quality, and psychological wellbeing were more likely to report lower COVID-19 anxiety levels. Conclusion: Nursing students' levels of COVID-19 anxiety indicate that the COVID-19 pandemic has psychologically affected this vulnerable group. COVID-19 anxiety can lead to poor sleep quality and psychological wellbeing. Nursing education authorities must formulate measures and strategies to protect the psychological welfare of nursing students against COVID-19.
