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

Covid-19 (SARS-CoV-2) is a new coronavirus. Since the declaration of a global pandemic, a lot has been learnt about its spread, disease pattern, diagnosis and management. The lungs remain the prime organs to incur serious insult and when lung complications embark, significant morbidity and mortality is observed. Predominantly, patchy and peripheral lung distribution in the Covid-19 pneumonia has been described in the radiology experience and literature. There are a range of imaging modes useable in diagnosis, prognosis, monitoring, and therapy of Covid-19. However, when it comes to the appropriateness and the potential benefits of imaging, resource utilization and infectious risk must be considered. The use of ultrasound during this pandemic has provided us with an alternate imaging modality that is easily performed at the bedside, with real time images available to the clinician. This case highlights the role played by the thoracic ultrasound in the diagnosis and progression of Covid-19 pneumonia.
