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

The prognosis of patients with the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is determined by the severity of lower respiratory infection caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The majority of patients demonstrate mild symptoms only. However, development of pneumonia is associated with the risk of severe respiratory insufficiency. Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) of specimens from the upper and/or lower respiratory tract is the gold standard for the diagnosis of COVID-19. Radiology and especially high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) are important for diagnosis and follow-up. This narrative review provides an overview of clinical signs and the complex and unique pathophysiology of COVID-19 pneumonia. Radiological features are addressed. Therapy is mainly supportive with the most important task being management of respiratory insufficiency. Recently, promising data were presented regarding effectiveness of antiviral and anti-inflammatory drugs.
