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

objectiveThe aim of the study was to evaluate associations between occupational and nonoccupational COVID-19 exposures, household characteristics, and COVID-19 infection risk among health care personnel (HCP).

methodsThis is a nested analysis of HCP enrolled in a multisite vaccine effectiveness study. COVID-19 infection was confirmed through source documentation. Exposures and household characteristics were self-reported.

resultsHCP with household COVID-19 exposure had significantly higher infection odds, while workplace exposure was associated with decreased odds of infection. No associations were observed for community exposures, living with children, or living with unvaccinated household members.

conclusionsHousehold exposure posed greater COVID-19 risk to HCP unlike exposures in the workplace. Combined with demonstrated vaccine effectiveness, these findings suggest that workplace infection control measures were successful, while interventions targeting household transmission may be critical for protecting HCP.
