Article in Nursing open, 2025. 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
aimsTo investigate the prevalence of anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in nurses redeployed to intensive care units (ICUs) during the COVID-19 pandemic.
designA cross-sectional survey study was used to collect quantitative data.
methodsAn online survey comprising validated instruments and demographic questions was administered to 137 redeployed ICU nurses at a tertiary hospital in Shijiazhuang, China, between December 1 and 30, 2022. Regression analyses were performed to identify factors that influence anxiety, depression and PTSD. The study followed the STROBE checklist.
resultsAmong respondents, 75.9% reported anxiety, 75.9% depression, 94.1% experienced anxiety-depression syndrome and 40.1% showed moderate to severe PTSD symptoms. Multifactorial logistic regression revealed that fear of patient death (p = 0.001) and a history of burnout syndrome (p = 0.017) were independent predictors of PTSD.
conclusionRedeployed ICU nurses experienced high rates of anxiety, depression and PTSD during the COVID-19 pandemic. Nurses with a history of burnout syndrome and fear of death were more likely to develop PTSD. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: A nurse leader and four senior nurses experienced in the ICU contributed to the design of the questionnaire and recruitment of participants. WHAT DOES THIS PAPER CONTRIBUTE TO THE BROADER GLOBAL CLINICAL COMMUNITY?: Enhances understanding of the psychological effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on ICU nurses. Informs the development of mental health interventions to support ICU nurses' well-being.
