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 world has been dealing with the SARS-COV-2 pandemic since December 2019 and a lot of effort has focused on tracking the spread of the virus by gathering information regarding testing statistics and generating viral genomic sequences. Unfortunately, there is neither a single comprehensive resource with global historical testing data nor a centralized database with summary statistics of the identified genomic variants. We merged different pre-aggregated historical testing data and complemented them with our manually extracted ones, which consist of 6852 historical test statistics from 76 countries/states unreported in any other dataset, at the date of submission, making our dataset the most comprehensive to date. We also analyzed all publicly deposited SARS-CoV-2 genomic sequences in GISAID and annotated their variants. Both datasets can be accessed through our interactive dashboard which also provides important insights on different outbreak trends across countries and states. The dashboard is available at https://bioinfo.lau.edu.lb/gkhazen/covid19 . A daily updated version of the datasets can be downloaded from github.com/KhazenLab/covid19-data.
