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

Healthcare professionals are exposed to several stress factors, especially during health emergency situations like Covid-19. Psychological distress in the COVID-19 era adversely affects both healthcare professionals' mental and physical health, decreasing performance and efficiency at work. Nevertheless, no sufficient emphasis has been placed so far on the role of nutrition against stress and anxiety among healthcare professionals. Consequently, worksite health promotion approaches and interventions are highly recommended, but also National Health Systems are praised to develop strategies and policies to satisfy nutritional requirements in health emergencies such as Covid-19 pandemic. In this brief paper, the important role of nutrition during periods of stress is highlighted, providing nutritional advice to enhance resilience in this risk group. In addition, practical lifestyle and diet tips for stress management among healthcare professionals exposed to Covid-19 are reported in this mini review.
