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

The clinical spectrum of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection ranges from asymptomatic cases to critical COVID-19 pneumonia. To investigate the role of host genetics in susceptibility to critical COVID-19 and identify pathophysiological mechanisms and pathways, we analyzed whole-exome and whole-genome sequencing data from the COVID Human Genetic Effort. We identified 10 rare, monoallelic predicted loss-of-function variants in 18 patients in
