What Have We Learned About Preventing and Treating COVID-19? Part 1: Physical Strategies, Natural Health Products, and Lifestyle.
Article in Integrative medicine (Encinitas, Calif.), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Many strategies were tried by our public health authorities to contain, mitigate, and treat the COVID-19 pandemic. With now 3 years of experience, research is being published that can help us determine what worked, and what did not. Unfortunately, assessing the research is very challenging. Not only are many of the approaches still not rigorously evaluated, but politics and censorship clearly distorted the research and reporting. In this, the first of 2 editorials, I review the research on Physical Strategies, Natural Health Products, and Healthy Lifestyle. In the next editorial I will take on Drugs and Vaccinations.
