Ensitrelvir in hospitalized patients with COVID-19 who were moderately to severely immunocompromised: a single-center cohort study.

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
Background: Immunocompromised patients have a risk of severe COVID-19. Objectives: To describe the outcomes of ensitrelvir in hospitalized immunocompromised patients with COVID-19, with remdesivir as a reference. Design: Single-center retrospective cohort study. Methods: We analyzed patients with moderate/severe immunodeficiency who received ensitrelvir or remdesivir as initial therapy. The primary outcome was 28-day all-cause mortality; secondary outcomes were time to discharge and viral clearance. Exploratory analyses used inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) based on propensity scores and Cox proportional-hazards models. Results: Among 56 patients (22 ensitrelvir; 34 remdesivir), 28-day mortality was 4.5% versus 8.8%, respectively. Time to discharge and viral clearance were similar. IPTW-adjusted 28-day mortality was 4.2% with ensitrelvir and 10.7% with remdesivir (hazard ratio 0.39; 95% CI 0.04-3.64). Conclusion: In this small, single-center exploratory cohort, ensitrelvir was associated with low mortality, although comparison with remdesivir should be interpreted cautiously given treatment selection, treatment switching, and limited sample size.
