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

Intensive care units (ICUs) are challenging environments for healthcare professionals (HCPs), patients, and families. Up to 75% of HCPs experience psychosomatic symptoms and 30% intend to leave their job. To address this, a German ICU implemented an integrated psychosocial care model. Its implementation and evaluation are described. In a quasi-experimental design, a psychologist was integrated part-time into an ICU team for 7 months (June 2022-January 2023), tasked to deliver low-threshold psychosocial support to HCPs. Additional components were one-on-one interactions, clinical supervisions, a feedback survey and health circles. Pre- and post-measures from a voluntary sample of the intervention ward (N = 65) and a control ward receiving usual psychosocial care (N = 33) were taken via online surveys assessing the psychosocial safety climate (PSC), emotional and cognitive irritation and intention to leave. Groups were compared using linear mixed-effect models. The intervention was implemented as planned, and HCPs expressed satisfaction with the changes experienced on the ward. Statistical testing revealed no significant interaction effects between point of measurement and group allocation on irritation and intention to leave (
