Evolution of baseline characteristics and severe outcomes in COVID-19 inpatients during the first and second waves in Northeastern France.
Article in Infectious diseases now, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
objectivesTwo COVID-19 epidemic waves occurred in France in 2020. This single-center retrospective study compared patients' characteristics and outcomes. PATIENTS AND
methodsWe included all patients with confirmed COVID-19 admitted to Colmar Hospital in March (n=600) and October/November (n=205) 2020.
resultsMedian ages, sex ratio, body mass index, and number of comorbidities were similar in wave 1 and 2 patients. Significant differences were found for temperature (38°C vs. 37.2), need for oxygen (38.6% vs. 26.8%), high-flow cannula (0% vs. 8.3%), and steroid use (6.3% vs. 54.1%). Intensive care unit (ICU) hospitalizations (25.5% vs. 15.1%, OR: 0.44, 95% CI [0.28; 0.68], P=0.002) and deaths (19.2% vs. 12.7%, OR: 0.61, 95% CI [0.37; 0.98], P=0.04) decreased during the second wave. Except for cardiovascular events (5.5% vs. 10.2%), no change was observed in extrapulmonary events.
conclusionsDeaths and ICU hospitalizations were significantly reduced during the second epidemic wave.
