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

Infection by severe acute respiratory syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is known to have the highest mortality rate among the elderly and those with pre-existing medical conditions. Viral load has been directly correlated with increased risk of mortality in hospitalized patients. Once infected, symptoms first arise approximately six to seven days later followed by immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies appearing 8-12 days after onset of clinical symptoms. Recent studies have noted that the monoclonal antibody combination of casirivimab and imdevimab (REGN-COV2) effectively reduces viral load in infected seronegative non-hospitalized patients. However, research supporting the use of REGN-COV2 in an inpatient setting is limited. We present the case of a 45-year-old male with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection with moderate dyspnea and progressive worsening of his symptoms over a week period. The patient showed drastic improvement of his symptoms after a single low-dose regimen of REGN-COV2 infusion while admitted to the hospital and was subsequently discharged without further medical complications.
