Association of Hypertension, Diabetes, and Cardiovascular Disease with COVID-19 in Africa: Scoping Review Protocol.
Article in Tropical medicine and infectious disease, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundCOVID-19 caused devastating effects on global healthcare systems. The elderly and people with chronic comorbidities were at a particularly high risk of mortality and morbidity. However, the evidence on the association of COVID-19 severity with noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) in the African population is scarce.
objectiveThe aim is to estimate COVID-19 severity among African patients with hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and its implications for case management.
methodsWe will adhere to the extension for Scoping Reviews of PRISMA (PRISMA-ScR). The following electronic databases will be searched: PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Embase, CINAHL, and Joanna Briggs Institute. The search will be conducted after the publication of this protocol. Two reviewers will extract data from articles published after March 2020 without language restrictions. A descriptive analysis of the important findings and a narrative synthesis of the results will serve as the basis for interpretation. Expected results and conclusions: This scoping review is expected to determine the odds of patients with chronic comorbidities to progress to severe stages of COVID-19. The review will generate an evidence-based and set foundation for recommendations toward the establishment of surveillance systems and referral guidelines for the management of NCDs in the face of COVID-19 and future pandemics.
