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

We report the case of a 43-year-old man who was infected with SARS-CoV-2 in February 2020 and actively cooperated with treatment in the hospital. During the course of treatment, we found that the respiratory SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid became negative, but remained positive in the intestinal tract. As a result, we adjusted the treatment plan to include traditional Chinese medicine enema treatment. The patient had negative intestinal SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid test within 4 days, and the subsequent repeated review of intestinal SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid was negative, and the virus was undetectable. It is suggested that traditional Chinese medicine enema treatment may be helpful to remove the SARS-CoV-2 in the intestines of patients with COVID-19 infection, and may support the treatment of patients with respiratory SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid negative and positive in the intestinal tract.
