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

BACKGROUND &

objectivesRace plays an important role in healthcare disparities, often resulting in worse health outcomes. It is unclear if other patient factors and race interactions may influence mortality in patients with COVID-19. We aimed to evaluate how multiple determinants of all-cause in-hospital mortality from COVID-19 were linked to race.

methodsA retrospective observational study was conducted at two hospitals in metropolitan Detroit. We identified patients aged ≥18 years-old who had tested positive for COVID-19 and were admitted between March 9 through May 16, 2020. Multivariable logistic regression was performed assessing predictors of all-cause in-hospital mortality in COVID-19.

resultsWe identified 1064 unique patients; 74% were African Americans (AA). The all-cause in-hospital mortality was 21.7%, with the majority of deaths seen in AA (65.4%,

conclusionGender significantly modified the association of race and COVID-19 mortality. African American females had the lowest all-cause in-hospital mortality risk compared to other gender-race groups.
