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

We conducted a real-life case-control study among outpatients with Omicron SARS-CoV-2 infection to assess the effectiveness of molnupiravir (MNP) in reducing hospital admission, admission to the intensive care unit, and death at day 28. Cases were SARS-CoV-2-positive patients seeking medical care within five days of symptom onset from 1 January to 31 December 2022, who received MNP. Controls were selected from a regional database among positive subjects who did not receive antiviral treatment for SARS-CoV-2. A total of 1382 patients were included (146 cases, 1236 controls). Vaccinated patients had a lower risk of mortality and of the composite outcome (hospital admission, ICU admission, or all-cause death) than unvaccinated ones (0.6% vs. 7.8%,
