Evolution of Mortality by Age Group in Patients With COVID-19 Above 60 Years of Age.

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
Introduction The severity of the diseases associated with the coronavirus worsen the results, increasing the mortality of these patients. Objective The aim of the present study is to report coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) hospitalizations and mortality in 2,359 patients aged over 60 years in a reference center in Brazil. Method The evolution of hospitalizations and overall mortality of patients admitted to Hospital de Base were evaluated in a clinical trial, then selecting patients aged over 60 years, by age group every 10 years, from March 2020 to April 2021, and analyzing whether there was an increase in mortality in age groups, assessed by Fisher's exact test. Results There was an increase in mortality over the decades in this period, but a reduction in hospitalizations after patient vaccination. Conclusion Mortality in patients over 60 years of age is higher than in younger patients, where the vaccine has reduced their hospitalization, but individual patient protection regarding mortality needs further evaluation.
