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
backgroundPediatric residents deal with children who are critically ill. This study was conducted to discover the stressors experienced by pediatric residents during the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). MATERIALS AND
methodsThis study included two quantitative and qualitative phases and was conducted using a mixed-methods sequential explanatory design. Using a quantitative-cross-sectional approach, the first phase of the study was conducted on 70 pediatric residents of hospitals affiliated with the Iran University in Tehran, Iran. The participants were selected through the convenience sampling method. The data collection tool used in the quantitative phase of this study was the Osipow occupational stress inventory. After collecting and analyzing data and according to the results, the second phase of the study, qualitative phase, was initiated. Sampling was done purposefully. Ten percent of the highest average, lowest, and middle average were interviewed. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews. All interviews were recorded and typed in the MAXQDA software and then analyzed.
resultsThe pediatric residents' occupational stress level in this study was 187/40 ± 20.37 and the resident's occupational stress had a significant relation with marital status, sleep duration, year of residency, and the number of monthly shifts. The qualitative phase revealed that the residents attributed their occupation stress to theoretical education problems, clinical problems, the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, a lack of balance between work-life responsibilities, and inappropriate physical environment as well as insufficient welfare facilities.
conclusionGiven the prominent role of residents in the healthcare system, paying attention to their occupational stress is essential. Therefore, all health policymakers are recommended to alleviate medical residents' occupational stress by making appropriate decisions and adopting efficient measures.
