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

For the treatment of Covid-19 patients with remdesivir, poor renal and liver function were both exclusion criteria in randomized clinical trials and contraindication for treatment. Also, nephrotoxicity and hepatotoxicity are reported as adverse events. We retrospectively reviewed renal and liver functions of Covid-19 103 patients who received remdesivir in the 15 days after treatment initiation. Approximately 20% of the patient population met randomized clinical trial exclusion criteria. In total, 11% of the patients had a decrease in estimated glomerular filtration rate >10 mL/min/1.73m
