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
backgroundCoronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is associated acute respiratory distress syndrome that leads to intensive care unit admission and subsequent need of invasive ventilation. The aim of this study is to evaluate mortality rate and associated parameters among COVID 19 patients under invasive ventilation.
methodsIn this retrospective studies, COVID 19 patients referred to our center we evaluated. The data regarding demographic characteristics, comorbidities, biochemical and radiographic findings, need of invasive ventilation and mortality were collected and recorded for all the patients. Statistical analysis was performed to evaluate the risk of mortality in invasive ventilation patients relative to each risk factor or paraclinical or clinical feature.
resultsAmong patients included in the study, 63 patients underwent invasive ventilation where 53 (84%) of these died. The mortality rate among invasive ventilation was significantly associated with advanced age, p = 0.006 whereas it was not significantly associated with smoking, gender, c-reactive protein, platelet count, hypertension, lymphopenia, leukopenia, creatinine kinase, addiction, blood urea nitrogen to creatinine ratio, malignancy, cough, fever, nausea, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and erythrocyte sedimentation rate.
conclusionsThe findings of our study indicate that advanced age can increase the risk of mortality in COVID 19 patients under invasive ventilation whereas, mortality among invasive ventilation patients is high, irrespective of their characteristic. Guidelines are therefore, required regarding the use of invasive ventilation among these patients.
