New challenges for management of COVID-19 patients: Analysis of MDCT based "Automated pneumonia analysis program".
Article in European journal of radiology open, 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
purposeThe aim of this study is to define the role of an "Automated Multi Detector Computed Tomography (MDCT) Pneumonia Analysis Program'' as an early outcome predictor for COVID-19 pneumonia in hospitalized patients. MATERIALS AND
methodsA total of 96 patients who had RT-PCR proven COVID-19 pneumonia diagnosed by non-contrast enhanced chest MDCT and hospitalized were enrolled in this retrospective study. An automated CT pneumonia analysis program was used for each patient to see the extent of disease. Patients were divided into two clinical subgroups upon their clinical status as good and bad clinical course. Total opacity scores (TOS), intensive care unit (ICU) entry, and mortality rates were measured for each clinical subgroups and also laboratory values were used to compare each subgroup.
resultsLeft lower lobe was the mostly effected side with a percentage of 78.12 % and followed up by right lower lobe with 73.95 %. TOS, ICU entry, and mortality rates were higher in bad clinical course subgroup. TOS values were also higher in patients older than 60 years and in patients with comorbidities including, Hypertension (HT), Diabetes Mellitus (DM), Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Chronic Heart Failure (CHF) and malignancy.
conclusionAutomated MDCT analysis programs for pneumonia are fast and an objective way to define the disease extent in COVID-19 pneumonia and it is highly correlated with the disease severity and clinical outcome thus providing physicians with valuable knowledge from the time of diagnosis.
