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

Imaging has been demonstrated to play a crucial role in both the diagnosis and management of COVID-19. Depending on resources, pre-test probability, and risk factors for severe disease progression, real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) testing may be followed by chest radiography (CXR) or chest computed tomography (CT) to further aid in diagnosis or excluding COVID-19 disease. SARS-CoV-2 has been shown not only to pathologically impact the pulmonary system, but also the cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and neurological systems to name a few. Imaging has again proven useful in further investigating and managing extrapulmonary disease, with the use of echocardiogram, CT angiography of the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular structures, MRI of the brain, as well as ultrasound of the abdomen and CT of the abdomen and pelvis proving particularly useful. Research in artificial intelligence and its application in the diagnosis of COVID-19 and disease severity prediction is underway, and point-of-care ultrasound is an emerging bedside technique that may allow for more efficient and timely diagnosis of COVID-19.
