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

Disease is defined as complex interaction of 3 things: disease-causing agent, host and environment. The government, CDC and hospital administrations have had reasonable success with the effects of social distancing and coronavirus testing; kudos to them. That addresses 1 of the 3 main factors of a disease; i.e. disease -causing agent. However, there are 2 other ingredients in the complex of a disease; i.e. the host of the disease and finally the environment of the disease. We are the hosts and it is time we take ownership of this ourselves and join the effort with the government towards understanding the dysregulated immune response seen in severe covid-19 and enable the public in strengthening the inner environment and the host immune response. Social distancing can be complete only when the host is prepared to fight the war in the coming fall and winter seasons. The outer environment seems to spontaneously recharging itself as a consequence of social distancing.
