A cross-sectional survey of videoconferencing fatigue and its influencing factors during COVID-19 in the Chinese population.

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
This study investigated videoconferencing fatigue and its influencing factors among Chinese people to inform interventions for reducing fatigue and enhancing well-being during COVID-19 and post-pandemic times. Data were collected via an online questionnaire from February 7 to 13, 2023, using convenience sampling. The questionnaire covered general profiles, health status, videoconferencing usage and intensity, and five nonverbal mechanisms, along with the Zoom Exhaustion and Fatigue scale, which assessed the main indicators. Univariate and step-wise multiple linear regression analyses were used to identify influencing factors. Of the 293 participants, 291 completed the survey (99.32%). The mean Zoom Exhaustion and Fatigue score was 2.18 out of 5. Factors significantly associated with increased fatigue included greater technological complexity, worse health status, more negative attitudes, higher levels of mirror anxiety and sense of feeling physically trapped, and higher cognitive load associated with producing nonverbal cues. Given the widespread use of videoconferencing tools, it is essential to understand the variables that influence videoconferencing fatigue thoroughly and to take the necessary steps to reduce it. According to the results of the study, recommendations to reduce fatigue include familiarizing with software, occasionally turning off cameras and microphones, changing posture, maintaining positive attitudes, reducing unnecessary meetings, and increasing break duration and frequency.
