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

BMI could be considered the strongest key element for defining "frail/vulnerable" persons during SARS-COV-2 infection. National authorities should be taking into account these data for planning future preventive measured and vaccination and avoiding an increase of mortality due to COVID-19 infection. BMI is an expression of obesity and one of phenotypic criteria of undernutrition. Both of these conditions are really relevant worldwide, suggesting the need of implementing the knowledge on the importance of nutrition for general health and also for preventing severe forms of COVID-19 infection.
