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

The COVID-19 pandemic has posed unprecedented challenges to healthcare systems and the mental well-being of healthcare professionals (HCPs) globally. This systematic review synthesizes existing research on the prevalence of depression, anxiety, and stress among HCPs during the pandemic. We employed a systematic search strategy to identify relevant studies published between December 2019 and December 2023, ultimately including 30 studies that met our inclusion criteria. The findings reveal a significant increase in the prevalence of depression, anxiety, and stress among HCPs compared to pre-pandemic levels. Several risk factors were identified, including direct exposure to COVID-19 patients, female gender, the nursing profession, inadequate resources, and lack of support. This review highlights the detrimental impact of the pandemic on HCPs' mental health and emphasizes the need for urgent interventions and support systems to address this critical public health issue.
