Path Analysis to Assess Socio-Economic and Mitigation Measure Determinants for Daily Coronavirus Infections.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
(1) Background: With the rapid global spread of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and the relatively high daily cases recorded in a short time compared to other types of seasonal flu, the world remains under continuous threat unless we identify the key factors that contribute to these unexpected records. This identification is important for developing effective criteria and plans to reduce the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic and can guide national authorities to tighten or reduce mitigation measures, in addition to spreading awareness of the important factors that contribute to the propagation of the disease. (2) Methods: The data represents the daily infections (210 days) in four different countries (China, Italy, Iran, and Lebanon) taken approximately in the same duration, between January and March 2020. Path analysis was implemented on the data to detect the significant factors that affect the daily COVID-19 infections. (3) Results: The path coefficients show that quarantine commitment (β = -0.823) and full lockdown measures (β = -0.775) have the largest direct effect on COVID-19 daily infections. The results also show that more experience (β = -0.35), density in society (β = -0.288), medical resources (β = 0.136), and economic resources (β = 0.142) have indirect effects on daily COVID-19 infections. (4) Conclusions: The COVID-19 daily infections directly decrease with complete lockdown measures, quarantine commitment, wearing masks, and social distancing. COVID-19 daily cases are indirectly associated with population density, special events, previous experience, technology used, economic resources, and medical resources.
