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 started in Wuhan province of china and spread in a faster rate covering all continents in the world. The pandemic has affected the socio-economic, political fabric of all countries, and exacerbated undernutrition and food insecurity problems of Low and Middle Income Countries (LMICs). COVID-19 has also disrupted the health system, resulted in low level utilization of essential services, such as childhood immunization, labor and childbirth, and treatment for children with serious illness. Unless the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic slows down, Ethiopia and other low income countries are at the verge of losing all the progresses made in health and wellbeing over the last two decades.
