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

The pandemic of corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by SARS-CoV-2 is ravaging the world. Diagnosis and isolation of persons who are infected with SARS-CoV-2 is very important medical emergency to contain the epidemic of COVID-19. To date, the diagnosis of COVID-19 is mainly depending on positive quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) results for SARS-CoV-2. In the present study, we reported that two cases with uncommon symptoms from a family cluster were ultimately diagnosed as COVID-19 after more than twice of collecting samples and qRT-PCR tests were done. It is easily to miss diagnosis of COVID-19 especially for patients with uncommon symptoms. More attention should be paid to observe the clinical characteristics of it and invent more accurate and convenient methods to detect SARS-CoV-2 as soon as possible.
