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

Background: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, the causative agent of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), is an inflammatory disease that manifests with symptoms including dry cough, fever, myalgia, and even pneumonia. Despite antiviral treatments, no definitive therapy has been proven effective. Objective: The current study aimed to determine the effects of TM add-on treatment on inflammatory biomarkers and some clinical outcomes in patients with COVID-19. Methods: The present study was a randomized controlled trial conducted on 60 patients who were randomly allocated to TM (5 g, twice a day) or a placebo for 1 week. The main outcomes of the current study include C-reactive protein (CRP) level, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), blood urea nitrogen level, creatinine level, fasting blood sugar level, systolic blood pressure, and visual analog scale (VAS) score for cough, which were evaluated at both the beginning and end of the study. Results: Our finding revealed that CRP level, ESR, blood urea nitrogen level, creatinine level, fasting blood sugar level, systolic blood pressure, and VAS score for cough were significantly reduced in the TM group after intervention ( Conclusions:
