Efficacy of limited antiviral treatment, testing, hospitalization, and social distancing for COVID-19 pandemic.
Article in Sensors international, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The control measures of a pandemic must be cautiously evaluated, especially when resources are "limited". A model of COVID-19 transmission dynamics is applied to assess the impact of antiviral treatment, testing, hospitalization, and social distancing. Under the assumption of "unlimited" resources, five control strategies involving social distancing, testing, hospitalization, and antiviral treatment are tested. Then these "optimal" policies are sought in the case of limited resources on behalf of a COVID-19 pandemic scenario. The amplitude of peak epidemics will often be minimized by executing strategies from the beginning of a pandemic, spreading the epidemics' greatest impact over a longer time frame. Therefore, the timing and potency of control measures can reduce the pressure on the system during the top of the epidemic through the pandemic, decreasing the pressure on the healthcare infrastructure. In case of limited access to antiviral supplies, the role of testing, hospitalization, and social distancing strategies is emphasized in this study.
