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

A novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a progressive viral disease that affected people around the world with widespread morbidity and mortality. Patients with COVID-19 infection typically had pulmonary manifestation but can also present with gastrointestinal, cardiac, or neurological system dysfunction. Chest imaging in patients with COVID-19 commonly show bilateral lung involvement with bilateral ground-glass opacity and consolidation. Mediastinal lymphadenopathy can be found due to infectious or non-infectious etiologies. It is commonly found to be associated with malignant diseases, sarcoidosis, and heart failure. Mediastinal lymph node enlargement is not a typical computer tomography of the chest finding of patients with COVID-19 infection. We summarized the literature which suggested or investigated the mediastinal lymph node enlargement in patients with COVID-19 infection. Further studies are needed to better characterize the importance of mediastinal lymphadenopathy in patients with COVID-19 infection.
