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

backgroundNeutralizing antibody cocktail therapy, REGN-COV2, is promising in preventing a severe form of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), but its effectiveness in Japan has not been fully investigated. MATERIALS AND

methodsTo evaluate the effectiveness of REGN-COV2, clinical data of 20 patients with COVID-19 who received REGN-COV2 was compared with the control by matching age and sex. The primary outcome was the time from the onset to defervescence, the duration of hospitalization, and oxygen requirement. A sensitivity analysis using Bayesian analysis was also conducted.

resultsThe time to defervescence was significantly shorter in the treatment group (5.25

conclusionREGN-COV2 may be effective in early defervescence and shorter hospitalization. Its effectiveness for preventing a severe form of infection needs to be evaluated by further studies.
