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

This paper investigates the pricing of uncertainty associated with the COVID-19 responses for 28 countries/regions in 2020. We find that such uncertainty is priced in the equity options market. Specifically, there is a price premium for options that provide protection to hedge against price risk, variance risk, and tail risk caused by a variety of World Health Organization (WHO) announcements and the lockdown announcements from governments on COVID-19. Moreover, such options tend to be more expensive when the governments place stricter restrictions.
