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

backgroundPatients with COVID-19 usually present with fever and respiratory symptoms such as cough, sputum production, and dyspnea. However, they may suffer from severe hypoxemia without a clinical correlation with the respiratory symptoms, also known as silent or apathetic hypoxia. The aim of the study was to assess the predictors and clinical outcomes of COVID-19 patients without dyspnea.

methodsA single-center retrospective cohort study, based on data extracted from the electronic hospital information system, with COVID-19 patients over a 10-month period in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

resultsOf the COVID-19 patients presenting at the Emergency Department with a SpO

conclusionPatients with cardiac disease are more likely to present with silent hypoxia. The SpO
