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
The Coronavirus Anxiety Scale is a questionnaire evaluating the symptom severity of dysfunctional anxiety associated with the coronavirus. This study aimed to investigate the psychometric properties of the Italian version of the Coronavirus Anxiety Scale in a sample of school teachers. A confirmatory factor analysis was carried out to investigate the factor structure of the scale. The questionnaire's internal consistency was examined by means of Cronbach's alpha and McDonald's omega coefficients. Concurrent validity with a measure of self-perceived health status was explored. Measurement invariance across the sexes was assessed using a multigroup confirmatory factor analysis. A total of 1341 responses of a sample of school teachers that anonymously completed an online questionnaire were analysed. Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the one-factor structure of the Coronavirus Anxiety Scale and supported the adequacy of the Italian version of the scale. The scale showed good internal consistency and reliability, and low concurrent validity. Female teachers reported higher levels of anxiety associated with COVID-19. The multigroup confirmatory factor analysis supported the measurement invariance across sex groups. The results confirmed that the Italian version of the Coronavirus Anxiety Scale has good psychometric properties and is a reliable measure to assess anxiety associated with COVID-19.
