High Doses of Colchicine Act As "Silver Bullets" Against Severe COVID-19.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
A 48-year-old patient with a weight of 120 kg with type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and gout was hospitalized on the third day of the COVID-19 diagnosis. His general condition is relatively good, oxygen saturation is 89%. Despite starting standard treatment, on the seventh day from the onset of symptoms, the patient deteriorated sharply (oxygen saturation dropped to 74%). The negative development of the disease is interrupted with a loading dose of colchicine of 6 mg. This is a typical case of the life-saving effect of high but safe doses of colchicine in high-risk COVID-19 patients.
