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

BACKGROUND/

aimsThis study was conducted with the aim of assessing the mental well-being of general practitioners (GPs) amidst the COVID-19 pandemic in Serbia. These findings are intended to provide valuable insights to primary care stakeholders about the potential need for support interventions. MATERIALS AND

methodsIn the context of the international cross-sectional survey on primary health care during the COVID-19 pandemic (PRICOV-19), our initial focus was on evaluating the appropriateness of employing the Mayo Clinic Well-Being Index (MWBI) for Serbian GPs. The Spearman test validated the correlation between the GPs' scores of the MWBI and Depression Anxiety Stress Scales-21 (DASS21) in the Serbian context. The univariate and multivariate linear regressions modeled the personal and job-related potential predictors of higher MWBI scores (

resultsA strong, positive, and significant correlation was found between the MWBI score; the total DASS21 score; and the scores for depression, anxiety, and stress (

conclusionsThe MWBI effectively assessed GPs' mental well-being amidst COVID-19 in Serbia. GPs with low socioeconomic statuses might most benefit from mental well-being support during crises. For better mental well-being, GPs need adequate time in their agendas to assess scientific evidence and adhere to established guidelines.
