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

Typical chest CT findings in COVID-19 have been described as bilateral peripheral ground glass opacities, with or without consolidation. Halo sign and reversed halo sign have been reported as atypical imaging findings in this disease. However, to the best of our knowledge, combined presence of these signs has never been reported before. Herein, we present a COVID-19 patient with numerous atypical target-shaped, combined halo and reversed halo pulmonary lesions, in the absence of any other underlying disease.
