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
Experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic may be traumatic to healthcare workers (HCWs). This study investigated the associations of resilience and mindfulness with posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) and posttraumatic growth (PTG), and the mediation role of adaptive coping and stigmatisation related to HCWs' role in these associations from the perspective of trauma and positive psychology research. An anonymous online survey was conducted among 1449 doctors and nurses (85.4% females; mean age 34.1 years) from five hospitals in different regions of China between October and November 2020, which was about six months after the COVID-19 outbreak was almost 'put under control' in China. PTSS and PTG were assessed using the 17-item PTSS Scale-Self-Report and Posttraumatic Growth Inventory, respectively. The prevalence of PTSS and PTG was 42% and 65%, respectively. Results of structural equation modelling suggested that the association between resilience and PTSS was partially mediated by adaptive coping, self-stigma, and the serial path via adaptive coping and self-stigma, which accounted for 66% of the total association. The association between mindfulness and PTSS was partially mediated by adaptive coping and serially mediated by adaptive coping and self-stigma. In contrast, only adaptive coping was a significant mediator in the associations between resilience/mindfulness and PTG. The findings first unravelled the mechanisms between resilience, mindfulness, and posttraumatic outcomes of COVID-19 among a large sample of HCWs. Health promotion may consider alleviating PTSS and promoting PTG for HCWs experiencing traumatic stressful events via strengthening resilience and mindfulness, fostering adaptive coping, and reducing stigmatisation.
