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

In 2020, a new type of coronavirus is in the global pandemic. Now, the number of infected patients is increasing. The trend of the epidemic has attracted global attention. Based on the traditional Richards model and the differential information principle in grey prediction model, this paper uses the modified grey action quantity to propose a new grey prediction model for infectious diseases. This model weakens the dependence of the Richards model on single-peak and saturated S-shaped data, making Richards model more applicable, and uses genetic algorithm to optimize the nonlinear terms and the background value. To illustrate the effectiveness of the model, groups of slowly growing small-sample and large-sample data are selected for simulation experiments. Results of eight evaluation indexes show that the new model is better than the traditional GM(1,1) and grey Richards model. Finally, this model is applied to China, Italy, Britain and Russia. The results show that the new model is better than the other 7 models. Therefore, this model can effectively predict the number of daily new confirmed cases of COVID-19, and provide important prediction information for the formulation of epidemic prevention policies.
