Clinical characteristics and prognosis of COVID-19 patients with initial presentation of lung lesions confined to a single pulmonary lobe.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundCOVID-19 patients showed certain characteristic features of multiple signs in bilateral lungs. Some patients only had a single pulmonary lobe lesion, which has not been reported previously. Single pulmonary lobe lesions are easily missed or misdiagnosed if they do not receive enough attention.
objectiveTo study the imaging manifestations, clinical features and outcomes of patients with COVID-19 with only one single pulmonary lobe lesion.
methodsPatient clinical data were collected only from patients with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection by RT-PCR, which was confined to only single lobe lesions on chest CT imaging findings at the onset. Which lobe was frequently involved, the imaging manifestations, clinical features and outcomes were also analyzed.
resultFrom January 1, 2020, to March 14, 2020, a total of 367 inpatients were diagnosed with COVID-19, in which 50 (13.6%) patients were confirmed with only one single pulmonary lobe lesion. The most frequently involved lobe was the right lower lobe (18 patients, 36%, highest). Lesions in the lower lobe easily spread to all lobes of the bilateral lungs (
conclusionsThe general pattern of COVID-19 imaging with localized nodules may also cause severe respiratory symptoms of bilateral lung disease, serious complications, or even death in patients with multiple lobe lesions or bilateral lung lesions, which should not be underestimated.
