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

Since its confirmation in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China, at the end of 2019, the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has rapidly spread worldwide in multiple epidemic waves while undergoing mutations. To date, numerous individuals have been infected. Symptoms range from asymptomatic and common cold-like to acute respiratory failure and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), which can lead to death. Here, we present the case of an 81-year-old woman with a fever that persisted for more than five days after infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). She underwent chest imaging that revealed complications of interstitial pneumonia presumed to be caused by COVID-19. Computed tomography (CT) findings in COVID-19 pneumonia are often nonspecific. In this case, scattered frosted shadows were observed in both lung fields, and blood tests revealed elevated Krebs von den Lungen 6 (KL-6) levels. Immediate therapeutic treatment is warranted when patients with multiple risk factors for COVID-19 present with interstitial pneumonia.
