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

introductionSARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, elicits a variety of host responses ranging from asymptomatic or mild illness in most people, to severe disease and critical illness in a subset of patients with systemic inflammation and hypoxemic respiratory failure. AREAS COVERED: Heterogeneous clinical presentations are often driven by disparate responses of the host immune system, with severe disease associated with aberrant interferon signaling or cytokine storm syndrome. This manuscript examines current therapeutic approaches, including the use of immunomodulators such as corticosteroids, interleukin inhibitors, kinase inhibitors, fluvoxamine, and ivermectin, and also explores the ways that these therapies and others may be used to treat COVID-19 in the future. EXPERT OPINION: Modulation of the immune response has become a mainstay of treatment of COVID-19, although the optimal mechanism has not yet been defined and there is considerable controversy regarding clinical management. As time progresses, the therapeutic approach to COVID-19 will undoubtedly change, particularly as we learn more about the pathophysiology of SARS-CoV-2 infection.
