PPE needs in the United States during the COVID-19 pandemic: An analysis using the GetUsPPE online platform.
Article in Public health challenges, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
The United States is heavily impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic starting in 2020. Demand for personal protective equipment (PPE) domestically, along with global surge in demand for PPE during the pandemic, overwhelmed supply chains, leading to acute PPE shortages. This article analyzes the PPE supply and demand in the United States by employing data collected by GetUsPPE, a data hub used throughout the pandemic to coordinate support efforts, including connecting facilities in need of PPE with donated supplies. In this article, PPE requests were examined by facility type (acute vs. non-acute care), geographic location, and PPE type. The research team observed that PPE demand was dispersed across the United States. In the beginning of the pandemic when demand was highest, most requesting facilities self-reported as acute care facilities, whereas non-acute care facilities predominated after June 2020. Additionally, the demand for respirators, disinfecting wipes, gowns, face shields, and surgical masks peaked in response to the first, second, and third waves of COVID-19. This analysis can be utilized in the future to optimize the tracking of PPE shortages and relief efforts.
