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

Researchers around the world are applying various prediction models for COVID-19 to make informed decisions and impose appropriate control measures. Because of a high degree of uncertainty and lack of necessary data, the traditional models showed low accuracy over the long term forecast. Although the literature contains several attempts to address this issue, there is a need to improve the essential prediction capability of existing models. Therefore, this study focuses on modelling and forecasting of COVID-19 spread in the top 5 worst-hit countries as per the reports on 10th July 2020. They are Brazil, India, Peru, Russia and the USA. For this purpose, the popular and powerful random vector functional link (RVFL) network is hybridized with 1-D discrete wavelet transform and a wavelet-coupled RVFL (WCRVFL) network is proposed. The prediction performance of the proposed model is compared with the state-of-the-art support vector regression (SVR) model and the conventional RVFL model. A 60 day ahead daily forecasting is also shown for the proposed model. Experimental results indicate the potential of the WCRVFL model for COVID-19 spread forecasting.
