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: The isolation treatment and special care of COVID-19 patients expose frontline healthcare workers (HCWs) involved in treatment to more risks of infection exposure. Therefore, investigating the current status of personal protection KAP of HCWs in isolation wards and its influencing factors will be helpful in improving personal protection in major public health events. Methods: Research data came from COVID-19 designated medical institutions in Shandong Province from October to December 2022, and were collected through questionnaire surveys. The questionnaire is self-designed and composed of general information questionnaire, KAP questionnaire and anxiety and depression questionnaire. Univariate factor analysis and multiple linear regression analysis were used to study the influencing factors of KAP of the research subjects. Results: In terms of KAP Scores, the mean knowledge score was 6.82 ± 1.6, with 85.60% scoring at a medium level or below. The attitude mean score was 27.56 ± 4.1, and 78.60% held a favorable disposition toward personal protection measures. For practice, the mean score was 44.44 ± 5.6, with approximately 30.86% demonstrating room for improvement. Univariate analysis indicated significant differences in knowledge scores among HCWs with varying numbers of personal protective equipment (PPE) trainings and levels of depression and anxiety ( Conclusion: In summary, for HCWs in isolation wards, increasing the frequency of protective training and reducing anxiety will improve their personal protection knowledge; alleviating depression will cultivate a positive attitude toward personal protection; and relieving anxiety, along with longer job tenure and working hours, were associated with enhanced protective behaviors.
