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

aimTo investigate the sleep quality and its influencing factors among nurses in hospitals in Zhejiang, China, during the first explosive COVID-19 outbreak following the relaxation of prevention and control measures.

designA multicentre cross-sectional study.

methodsBetween 10 January and 20 January 2023-approximately 1 month after the policy was loosened-a total of 573 nurses from tertiary and community hospitals in Zhejiang participated in an online, self-administered survey. The participants were recruited using convenience sampling, and the survey was distributed via the WeChat platform. The survey included a general information form; the Self-Rating Scale of Sleep (SRSS); the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21); the Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS); and the Brief Resilience Scale (BRS). Data analysis was conducted using SPSS version 26.0. Statistical methods employed included t-tests, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), chi-square tests and Mann-Whitney U-tests for comparisons between groups. Pearson correlation coefficients were calculated to analyse the relationship between the SRSS score and the DASS-21, PSSS and BRS scores. A multiple linear stepwise regression analysis was conducted to determine the independent influencing factors of sleep quality.

resultsMore than 90% of the nurses were infected with COVID-19, and 60.6% had sleep disorders. The regression analysis revealed that anxiety, the BRS score, comorbidities, hospital grade, clinical front-line, age and COVID-19 infection independently predicted sleep quality. The scores for several SRSS items were higher than the Chinese norm, especially for the nurses in tertiary hospitals. PATIENT AND PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: No patient or public contribution.
