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: Corona Virus Disease of 2019 (COVID-19) spread across the globe, causing distress among various populations, including healthcare providers. This disease has had an unparalleled effect on the world's economic situation, livelihood, mental and physical well-being across the globe.The study aimed to determine the prevalence of depression and identify the occupational and psychological factors associated with depression among health care providers during the COVID-19 pandemic in a regional referral hospital in Kisumu County. Methods: We conducted a hospital-based cross-sectional study at JOOTRH where a total of 202 respondents participated in the study. The survey questionnaire consisted of four components: demographic factors, occupational factors, and psychological factors. Depression was measured using the 9-item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9). Data was analysed using the statistical package for Social Science version 28. Pearson chi-square was used to determine the occupational and psychological factors associated with depression during the COVID-19 pandemic at Results: The overall prevalence of depression was at 57.4%. The occupational and psychological factors associated with depression among healthcare providers during the COVID-19 pandemic included being over 30 years old, married, having over 6 years of work experience, COVID-19 training, having an irregular work schedule, lacking psychological support services, and facing stigma. Conclusion: The study findings revealed a considerable proportion of depressive symptoms among health providers during the COVID-19 pandemic at JOOTRH. Older age, being married, more years of work experience, previous exposure to pandemic, having COVID-19 training, and irregular work schedule, experience of stigma, and lack of psychological support were significantly associated with depression.
