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

RATIONALE AND

objectivesThe aim of this study was to compare the findings found in thorax computed tomography (CT), which is increasingly used in the diagnosis of the important public health problem of coronavirus disease (COVID-19), and the findings of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as an important diagnostic alternative. MATERIALS AND

methodsThirty-two patients diagnosed with COVID-19 who underwent thorax CT for COVID pneumonia and MRI for any reason within 24 hours after CT were included in the study. The number of lobes affected, number of lobes containing ground-glass opacities and consolidation, number of nodules, distribution of lesions (central, peripheral, or diffuse), lobes with centrilobular nodular pattern, and the presence of pleural effusion were recorded separately for both imaging methods.

resultsSeventeen of the patients were female (53%) and 15 were male (47%). The mean age of the patients was 60.5 (range, 20-85) years. A total of 31 patients (96%) had signs of pneumonia on CT. The most common finding in CT was ground-glass opacities in 29 patients (90.6%), followed by consolidation in 14 patients (43.75%). Both consolidation and ground-glass opacities were also observed in MRI in all of these patients. Nodules were detected in 12 patients (37.5%) on CT and 11 patients (34.4%) on MRI. The sensitivity and specificity of MRI in nodule detection were calculated as 91.67% and 100%, respectively.

conclusionAlthough thorax CT is widely used in the imaging of COVID-19 infection, due to its advantages, MRI can also be used as an alternative diagnostic tool.
