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

Purpose: This study examined the association between COVID-19-related experiences and the psychological wellbeing of school-going adolescent girls in Uganda. Methods: We utilized cross-sectional data collected from 1165 adolescent girls (14-17 years), participating in a longitudinal randomized clinical trial (2017-2022). Due to social distancing and mitigation measures, data were collected using telephone interviewer-administered surveys. We fitted hierarchical regression models to assess the association between COVID-19-related experiences (such as resource changes and disruptions, and access to medical care), and two aspects of psychological wellbeing (emotional and cognitive wellbeing). Results: Resource changes and disruptions due to the pandemic were negatively associated with adolescents' emotional ( Conclusion: The pandemic significantly impacted adolescents' psychological wellbeing. Our study findings contribute to the limited literature focused on the impact of COVID-19 on the psychological wellbeing of adolescent girls. Findings support efforts to address the psychological needs of adolescent girls, specifically, interventions to alleviate the negative effects of the pandemic.
