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

SARS-CoV-2, the virus causing the COVID-19 pandemic, changes frequently through the appearance of mutations constantly leading to new variants. However, only few variants evolve as dominating and will be considered as "Variants of Concern" (VOCs) by the world health organization (WHO). At the end of 2020 the alpha (B.1.1.7) variant appeared in the United Kingdom and dominated the pandemic situation until mid of 2021 when it was substituted by the delta variant (B.1.617.2) that first appeared in India as predominant. At the end of 2021, SARS-CoV-2 omicron (B.1.1.529) evolved as the dominating variant. Here, we use
