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

COVID-19 pandemic is the biggest epidemiologic problem of the 21st century. A severe course of SARS-CoV-2 infection in children is rare. Sometimes, especially in patients with chronic disease, COVID-19 may be insidious and life-threatening. This article presents the course of COVID-19 in a 17-year-old boy with Friedreich's ataxia-induced hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Although, the main symptoms of COVID-19 (i.e., fever, cough) were moderate at the beginning of the illness, the patient's condition deteriorated rapidly due to cardiac problems, atrial fibrillation, and heart failure. The patient required antiarrhythmic treatment and pharmacological and electrical cardioversion. Moreover, because of pneumonia requiring supplemental oxygen, remdesivir and convalescent plasma therapy was given to the patient., The administration of the antiviral treatment was crucial to the patient's recovery.
