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

backgroundReports on COVID-19 skin manifestations and associated clinical outcomes are limited. Like viral diseases, cutaneous findings may be present and can help in confirmation and prognostication among those suspected or diagnosed with COVID-19.

objectiveTo determine COVID-19 cutaneous manifestations and their association with disease severity and course.

methodsThis study was conducted in a designated COVID-19 referral hospital from January 1 to March 31, 2021. Skin manifestations recorded from January 1 to February 17 were retrospectively gathered. Reports from February 18 to March 31 were prospectively collected using a dermatologic checklist which was incorporated into all official medical records.

resultsA total of 507 confirmed patients with COVID-19 were included. COVID-19 skin signs were detected in 39 patients (7.7%). Morbilliform lesions were most common. Skin signs were significantly associated with severe or critical cases (odds ratio, 3.4; 95% CI, 1.3-8.7) and mortality (relative risk, 2.9; 95% CI, 2.0-4.2). LIMITATIONS: Underestimation of prevalence of COVID-19 skin signs due to exclusion of outpatient and discharged patients and the subjective assessment in the retrospective part.

conclusionCutaneous signs were significantly associated with severe/critical COVID-19 as well as death among 507 hospitalized patients in a Philippine COVID-19 referral hospital.
