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

The COVID-19 pandemic and its associated mitigation strategies have significant psychosocial, behavioral, socioeconomic, and health impacts, particularly in vulnerable US populations. Different factors have been identified as influencers of the transmission rate; however, the effects of area deprivation index (as a measure of social determinants of health, SDoH) as a factor on COVID-19 disease early dynamics have not been established. We determined the effects of area deprivation index (ADI) and demographic factors on COVID-19 outcomes in Washington, D.C. This retrospective study used publicly available data on COVID-19 cases and mortality of Washington, D.C., during March 31st-July 4th, 2020. The main predictors included area deprivation index (ADI), age, and race/ethnicity. The ADI of each census block groups in D.C. (n=433) were obtained from Neighborhood Atlas map. Using a machine learning-based algorithm, the outcome variables were partitioned into time intervals: time duration (P
