Psychological status of healthcare workers in the post-COVID 19 period in China: a retrospective multicentric cross-sectional study.
Article in Frontiers in psychiatry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Objective: This study aimed to assess the depression, anxiety, sleep disorders, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among healthcare workers (HCWs) in Huizhou in the post-pandemic period. Methods: A retrospective multicentric cross-sectional study was conducted from April 25 to May 25, 2023, involving 4,618 HCWs from 46 hospitals in Guangdong Province, China. Psychological well-being was measured using the PHQ-9, GAD-7, Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), and PTSD scales. Chi-square test and multivariable logistic regression were used to identify factors associated with depression, anxiety, insomnia and PTSD. Results: The rates of anxiety, depression, insomnia, and PTSD were 45.0%, 59.4%, 40.5%, and 10.5%, respectively. HCWs who did not experience negative events were more likely to show anxiety (OR=2.082, 95%CI:1.734-2.499), depression (OR=2.013, 95%CI:1.647-2.460) and insomnia (OR=2.013, 95%CI:1.683-2.409). Conclusion: There was a high prevalence of anxiety, depression, insomnia, and PTSD in the HCWs after the COVID-19 pandemic.
