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
backgroundHospitalization rates (HR), emergency care prevalence (ECP) and case fatality proportions (CFP) of hospitalized severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) patients in one municipality have not been studied, including how these differ from other pandemic or seasonal viral diseases, such as influenza A/B or norovirus. These analyses and their comparison with negative-tested hospitalized patients are the purpose of the present study.
methodsA total of 67,000 cases of hospitalized patients of a tertiary care hospital and data of the regional health institute were analyzed to calculate HR, ECP and CFP of SARS-CoV‑2, influenza A/B and norovirus genotype 1/2.
resultsIn the city and district of Fürth (Germany), 824 persons (0.34%) tested SARS-CoV-2-positive through 7 May 2020, 162 of whom (19.7%) were hospitalized. Furthermore, 48 out of 91 patients died in hospital (CFP 11.0%). During the flu/norovirus season 2019/2020 992 inhabitants were flu-positive and 135 norovirus-positive, of whom 202 (20.3%) and 125 (91.9%), respectively, were hospitalized. The ECPs were 4.1%, 2.0% and 0.6%. The CFPs of the SARS-CoV-2-, influenza- and norovirus-positive hospital cohort were 29.1%, 3.0% and 1.6%, while CFPs of the negative-tested were 5.9%, 4.8% and 6.9% with an in-hospital mortality of 2.1% for 2020.
conclusionsWhile HRs of SARS-CoV‑2 and influenza were similar, CFPs differ significantly. CFPs of negative-tested patients were comparable between the three infectious diseases.
