COVID-19 and Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI): Possible implications for elderly patients.
Article in Anaerobe, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04854941 (Efficacy of Probiotics), which is not on this map. Cited by 22 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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.
Efficacy of Probiotics (Lactobacillus Rhamnosus, Bifidobacterium Bifidum, Bifidobacterium Longum Subsp. Infantis and Bifidobacterium Longum) in the Treatment of Hospitalised Patients With Novel Coronavirus Infection

Abstract
COVID-19 dramatically affects the elderly. Due to the large usage of antibiotics during the current pandemic and the gastrointestinal manifestations of COVID-19, the elderly population, hospitalized patients, residents in LTCFs and persons that survived the COVID-19 might be more prone to Clostridioides difficile infections (CDI). A renewed attention to CDI is necessary during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
