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
objectiveEstimate mortality indicators and impact of COVID-19 on healthcare workers in Bahia in the period 2020-2022.
methodsThis is a descriptive study, with death data extracted from the Brazilian Mortality Information System. Population data were obtained from professional councils, the National Registry of Health Establishments and the Brazilian National Immunization Program Information System. The mortality rate was calculated and presented per 1,000 workers. Potential years of life lost and productive years of life lost due to COVID-19 were estimated. An analysis was carried out between mortality rates and the proportion of people vaccinated against COVID-19.
resultsOf the total number of deaths (n=403), the majority were female (63.3%), aged 40 or over (85.4%), of brown race/skin color (52.1%) and with secondary or technical education (48.1%). The highest mortality rates were observed among elderly/healthcare caregivers, health agents, veterinarians/zootechnicians, biologists and pharmacy/office attendants. Regarding the evolution of mortality, three waves were observed, with a reduction in deaths after the start of vaccination. In total, 6,771 potential years of life lost and 6,778 productive years of life lost were estimated, with a greater impact on women, in the 40-49 age group and in occupations that involved direct care.
conclusionThe results showed the potential impact generated by COVID-19 on the healthcare workers in Bahia.
