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

COVID-19 is still spreading around the world. To this end, the present study sought to explore the experiences of COVID-19 survivors with a history of admission to ICUs in southern Iran. This study was conducted using descriptive phenomenology on twelve COVID-19 survivors with a history of admission to the ICU. The patients were selected using purposive sampling. The data were collected through face-to-face semistructured interviews with the patients. The collected data were analyzed using the seven steps of Colaizzi analysis. Data analysis revealed 3 main themes: better resources and facilities, unpleasant physical and psychological experiences, and pain relievers. COVID-19 survivors who were admitted to the RICU reported that they had many positive and negative experiences. Thus, health officials, experts, nurses, and physicians need to pay special attention to the problems faced by COVID-19 patients admitted to ICUs.
