Mental Health of Hospital Staff During COVID-19: A Comparative Longitudinal Study.
Article in Iranian journal of nursing and midwifery research. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Staff burnout was a major challenge for healthcare systems globally during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this regard, this study aimed to examine the mental health status of employees in two hospitals: one that admitted patients with COVID-19 (COVID-19 hospital) and another that did not admit such patients (non-COVID-19 hospital). Materials and Methods: This multistage case-control study was conducted on 1241 participants who were selected using the census sampling method. The participants completed the Symptom Checklist 25 and a demographic checklist, along with the assessment of other relevant variables. Data collection occurred at 3 (June 2020), 6 (September 2020), and 9 (December 2020) months following the COVID-19 outbreak. The data were analyzed in using the Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests for statistical analysis. Results: Among the 300 staff members at the COVID-19 hospital, 187 (62%), 73 (24%), and 40 (13%) members were medical, nonmedical, and administrative staff, respectively. At the non-COVID-19 hospital, out of 300 staff members, 235 (78%), 53 (18%), and 12 (4%) members were medical, nonmedical, and administrative staff, respectively. The staff at the COVID-19 hospital showed higher total SCL-25 scores, compared to those at the non-COVID-19 hospital. Despite an overall upward trend in psychiatric disorders in both groups, significant differences were observed at 6 months ( Conclusions: The staff at the COVID-19 hospital were at a higher risk of developing mental health disorders. The mental health status of employees at both hospitals evolved over time.
