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

The rapid increase of patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has introduced major challenges to healthcare services worldwide. Therefore, fast and accurate clinical assessment of COVID-19 progression and mortality is vital for the management of COVID-19 patients. We developed an automated image-based survival prediction model, called U-survival, which combines deep learning of chest CT images with the established survival analysis methodology of an elastic-net Cox survival model. In an evaluation of 383 COVID-19 positive patients from two hospitals, the prognostic bootstrap prediction performance of U-survival was significantly higher (P < 0.0001) than those of existing laboratory and image-based reference predictors both for COVID-19 progression (maximum concordance index: 91.6% [95% confidence interval 91.5, 91.7]) and for mortality (88.7% [88.6, 88.9]), and the separation between the Kaplan-Meier survival curves of patients stratified into low- and high-risk groups was largest for U-survival (P < 3 × 10
