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

objectivesCharacteristics and perceived impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the health of governmental public health nurses were compared to all registered nurses.

designCross-sectional descriptive design using data from the 2022 Wisconsin RN Workforce Survey. SAMPLE: The sample included 87,100 registered nurses, including 1350 governmental public health nurses. MEASUREMENTS: The online survey was administered during February 2022. Responses to "Working as a nurse" and "Primary place of work" were used to classify governmental public health nurses. Data elements included demographics, employment, income, education, specialized knowledge, certifications, and COVID-19 pandemic measures.

resultsCompared to all registered nurses, governmental public health nurses reported older age, greater race/ethnic diversity, and higher frequency of the baccalaureate as the highest degree. Most governmental public health nurses reported no plans for additional education. Income for governmental public health nurses lagged income for all registered nurses. The proportion of governmental public health nurses intending to remain in their present type of work for fewer than 10 years was higher than for all registered nurses, as was the proportion of governmental public health nurses who rated their overall health as "worse or much worse" than before the pandemic.

conclusionThis analysis raises concerns about the size and preparation of the governmental public health nurse workforce given ongoing population health disparities and future health threats.
