Observational study in Revista medica del Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Background: In December 2019, an outbreak of COVID-19 was reported for the first time. This disease has caused millions of deaths worldwide. To date multiple drugs have been tried, without finding an effective treatment yet. Objective: To describe the evolution and the pharmacological treatment used in patients hospitalized due to COVID-19. Material and methods: Observational study in 200 patients hospitalized due to COVID-19 in a regional hospital of Acapulco who were admitted between March and July 2020. The characteristics, pharmacological treatment and evolution of the patients were identified. Univariate, bivariate and multivariate analyses were performed. Results: 60% of the patients were male, 83% had at least one comorbidity, 56% died. The most used drug was enoxaparin, of which receiving a 60 mg dose was associated with a lower risk of death, compared to receiving 40 mg. Having received hydroxychloroquine, methylprednisolone, moxifloxacin and being 60 years or older was associated with a higher risk of progressing to death. Conclusions: There was a high mortality. The most used drug was enoxaparin, of which using doses of 60 mg reduced the risk of death.
