Cross-Validation Comparison of COVID-19 Forecast Models.
Article in SN computer science, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Many papers have proposed forecasting models and some are accurate and others are not. Due to the debatable quality of collected data about COVID-19, this study aims to compare univariate time series models with cross-validation and different forecast periods to propose the best one. We used the data titled "Coronavirus Pandemic (COVID-19)" from "'Our World in Data" about cases for the period of 31 December 2019 to 21 November 2020. The Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) is computed per model to make the choice of the best fit. Among the univariate models, Error Trend Season (ETS), Exponential smoothing with multiplicative error-trend, and ARIMA; we got that the best one is ETS with additive error-trend and no season. The findings revealed that with the ETS model, we need at least 100 days to have good forecasts with a MAPE threshold of 5%.
