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

Background: This study explores the risk factors associated with viral shedding time in elderly Chinese patients infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) omicron. Methods: Participants infected with SARS-CoV-2 omicron were enrolled in a retrospective study, and divided into two groups according to shedding time (≥10 days, "late clearance group" and <10 days, "early clearance group"). Results: A total of 180 patients were enrolled in the study (88 early, 92 late), with a median viral shedding time of 10 days and a mean age of 77.02 years. Prolonged SARS-CoV-2 omicron shedding was associated with old age ( Conclusions: Time from onset of diagnosis to hospitalization, lack of treatment with Paxlovid, and lack of vaccination were independent risk factors in elderly Chinese patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 omicron for prolonged viral shedding.
