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

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) attacks pulmonary alveolar cells via angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptors and causes pulmonary infections that result in coronavirus disease (COVID-19), inducing immune responses that can result in severe pneumonia. We reviewed the clinical experiences of lung diseases during the COVID-19 pandemic to offer insights into the adaptations made by experts in the diagnosis and treatment of these comorbidities. Various lung comorbidities increase the severity of COVID-19 and associated mortality by amplifying ACE2 expression. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic has changed the use of routine diagnostic pulmonary imaging methods, making chest sonography scoring the most convenient, as it can be conducted bedside. Treatment protocols for SARS-CoV-2 infection and the underlying lung diseases are also affected owing to potential interactions. The optimal diagnostic methods and treatment protocols for lung diseases have been adapted worldwide to increase survival rates and attenuate acute lung injuries during the COVID-19 pandemic.
