The demographic characteristics, prognosis, and relationship with cancer subtypes of hospitalized COVID-19 patients with malignancy: A single-center experience.
Article in Journal of medical virology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Undoubtedly, cancer patients have suffered the most from the COVID-19 pandemic process. However, cancer is a heterogeneous disease, and each patient has responded differently to COVID-19. We aimed to describe the clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients with cancer and COVID-19. We retrospectively reviewed 45 cancer patients hospitalized in the Cerrahpaşa Medical Faculty COVID-19 department from March 23 to October 23, 2020. We analyzed the demographic characteristics, symptoms, laboratory findings, treatment, prognosis, and cancer subtypes of patients and mortality who were hospitalized for COVID-19. Between March 23 and October 23, 2020, 45 hospitalized cancer patients who had laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 infection were included, with a median age of 60 years (range: 23-92). Patients were divided into two groups a survivor and a non-survivor. Symptoms, demographic information, comorbidities, treatments for COVID-19, and laboratory findings of the two groups were evaluated separately. Two parameters were found, which showed a significant difference between non-survivors and survivors displaying a disadvantage for COPD and low platelet count (p = 0.044-0.038). The mortality rate of all patients was 66%. The presence of comorbidities such as COPD and low platelet count in cancer patients with COVID-19 infection may draw the attention of physicians.
