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
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has been associated with front line health care provider burnout, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder. We sought to better understand how nurses and physicians of differing genders may have been affected differently by the COVID-19 crisis. Methods: Between July 17, 2020, and October 31, 2020, we surveyed nurses and physicians caring for COVID-19 patients at a large, academic, public safety net hospital in the southern United States. Survey questions were adapted from validated questionnaires used to determine quality of life, assess levels of anxiety, and determine how COVID-19 may have affected our nurses' and physicians' work, home and social lives. Results: Overall, 120 (41.7%) providers responded, including 39 (50%) physicians and 81 (38.6%) nurses. 69.3% reported disruption to their home/family, 76.3% to their social lives, and 29.8% worried about financial strain. More nurses than physicians worried about being excluded from social gatherings (59.7% v 35.1%, p=0.01). Similarly, 70.1% of nurses and 46.0% of physicians expressed concern of exposing others to COVID-19 (p=0.01). Nurses also expressed greater concern about being treated differently by others when compared to physicians (64.5% v 37.8%, p= 0.01). Female physicians reported greater difficulty separating their personal lives from their professional lives than male physicians and either male or female nurses (84.6%% vs 35% vs 33.3% vs 35.9%, p <0.05). Most physicians (89.7%) and nurses (93.8%) reported some level of anxiety, with 31.5% of respondents experiencing moderate or severe anxiety. Conclusion: Healthcare workers on the frontline of COVID-19 pandemic, regardless of profession, reported increased anxiety that extended beyond the hospital into their homes and social lives. Physicians and nurses, as well as men and women, reported different sources and degrees of stress and disruption to their work, home and social lives.
