Sex steroids and COVID-19 mortality in women.
Article in Trends in endocrinology and metabolism: TEM, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
More men died of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) than women, suggesting estrogens may protect women. However, COVID-19 deaths among men and women were inconsistent among countries throughout the world. Genetics, epigenetics, and inborn errors of immunity may account for the disparity in mortality among men and women with COVID-19 more than sex steroid hormones.
