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

Spreading swiftly across the borders and over the seas, severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus-2 (SARS-COV-2), as causative pathogen of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), is currently the main global public health concern. "Cannonball appearance," as a rare and yet underrated CT feature of COVID-19 pneumonia, has been typically linked to certain hematogenous pulmonary metastases and some inflammatory/infection conditions, including tuberculosis, but no other viral or atypical pneumonia. Cannonball appearance can bring diagnostic dilemmas and difficulties in monitoring treatment response in patients with or suspicious for hematogenous pulmonary metastasis. Hereby, we report two cases of COVID-19 delta variant-induced pneumonia manifesting unusually in chest CT scan with cannonball appearance.
