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

backgroundDue to the nature of their work, pre-hospital emergency staff and emergency department nurses are exposed to high levels of stress, anxiety, and depression. The present study is designed to compare the stress, anxiety, and depression levels between pre-hospital emergency staff and emergency department nurses. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on 143 nurses working in the emergency departments of Shahid Modarres, Hefdah-e-Shahrivar, and Imam Reza hospitals, as well as operational staff in urban and rural pre-hospital emergency stations in Saveh and Zarandieh counties in 2023. The samples were selected through consensus sampling based on inclusion criteria. Data collection tools included a demographic questionnaire and the Persian version of the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales - 21 (DASS-21). Data analysis was performed using IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA SPSS software version 23, applying descriptive statistics and inferential methods such as t-tests and Spearman correlation coefficients.

resultsThe comparison of the average scores for anxiety and depression showed that pre-hospital emergency operational staff had significantly higher anxiety (

conclusionThe higher levels of stress, anxiety, and depression among pre-hospital emergency staff highlight their vulnerability to psychological harm. It is recommended that targeted psychological and educational interventions be implemented to address these issues, with a focus on pre-hospital emergency personnel.
