Successful management of COVID-19 outbreak in a long-term care facility in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia: Epidemiology, challenges for prevention and adaptive management strategies.
Article in Journal of infection and public health, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
The global transmission of SARS-COV-2 constitutes a highly challenging situation for long-term care facilities, especially with the lack of standardized and approved procedures. Residents in these facilities are at high risk for contamination due to proximity, and to morbidity and mortality given their advanced age and critical baseline health conditions. This paper exposes the experience and outcomes of a COVID-19 outbreak in a long-term facility in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, which occurred after admission of a new resident despite high baseline level of alertness including systematic isolation and screening of all newly admitted residents. We highlight the challenges for case detection and application of protective measures, and describe the adaptive management strategies implemented to contain the outbreak.
