COVID-19 pandemic management at a hospital in Somalia: A qualitative study.
Article in Journal of public health research, 2026. 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: COVID-19 pandemic management in the hospitals is important for the prevention practices of health staff. Studies assessing COVID-19 pandemic management in Somali hospitals are limited. This study aimed to evaluate the management of the COVID-19 pandemic at De Martino Public Hospital in Mogadishu, Somalia, to enhance pandemic management strategies in hospitals. Methods: In this phenomenological study, in-depth interviews were conducted with 29 key participants at De Martino Hospital, including 5 managers, 12 healthcare workers, and 12 patients. Additionally, on-site observations were carried out at the hospital. The study was conducted in 2022, and thematic content analysis was used to analyze the interview data. Results: The interviews revealed seven themes: infrastructure, prevention, communication, awareness, fear, management, and finance. The study found that the hospital generally managed the COVID-19 pandemic well. However, public awareness was deemed inadequate. Observations indicated a lack of triage procedures at the entrance. The results also highlighted a shortage of budget and poor infrastructure for COVID-19 management in the hospital. Conclusions: Effective COVID-19 pandemic management is crucial for reducing disease transmission. It is important to implement entry regulation measures, particularly screening triage procedures. Public education is needed to encourage the adoption of COVID-19 infection prevention and control practices. Additionally, sufficient funding should be allocated to ensure that hospitals have the necessary materials, equipment, and human resources for improved management of the COVID-19 pandemic and similar epidemics.
