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

Severe acute respiratory distress syndrome coronavirus 2 (COVID-19) is the cause of the current pandemic, which remains a tremendous cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Although there are numerous trials underway, there is currently no medication known to cure the infection. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are inexpensive, widely available medications with antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties and may have utility as an adjunct therapy to improve outcomes in patients with severe COVID-19 infection. A thorough PubMed literature review on the therapeutic use of NSAID was conducted to provide a comprehensive perspective of the role of NSAIDs in treating COVID-19. NSAIDs may be a useful adjunct therapy for patients with severe COVID-19 infection, but further investigation and clinical trials are necessary to ensure their safety and efficacy.
