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

In the absence of vaccines and antiviral drugs available to prevent and treat COVID-19, it becomes imperative to find or use all those products with the potential to fight this virus. This article is an attempt to propose ways to prevent, treat and control the COVID-19 virus, using a product based on plant extracts with the potential to reduce the symptoms caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Nasoil® counts as one of its main components, Asclepias curassavica extracts, and in the present study it has been shown that it is an effective adjuvant in the treatment of Covid-19, increasing the respiratory capacity of the patients (SpO2> 90%) and reducing the symptoms from the first application, improving the patients around the fifth to the eighth application. At a preventive level, the individuals in this study who have applied it (400 individuals) only a 3.15% of these presented symptoms, disappearing when increasing the weekly applications.
