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

introductionThe aim of this review was to combine the results of published cohort studies to determine the exact association between chronic liver disorders, and the severe form of COVID-19, and its associated complications.

methodsThis meta-analysis employed a keyword search (COVID-19 and chronic liver disorders) using PubMed (Medline), Scopus, Web of Sciences, and Embase (Elsevier). All articles related from January 2019 to May 2022 were reviewed. The STATA software was used for analysis.

resultsThe risk of death in COVID-19 patients with chronic liver disorders was higher than in ones without the chronic liver disease (RR: 1.52; CI 95%: 1.46-1.57; I

conclusionThe mortality and complications due to COVID-19 were significantly different between patients with the chronic liver disease and the general population.
