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

backgroundFrom late March through April 2021, we experienced a cluster of patients with COVID-19, named "Cluster K", with rapid severe illness compared with those who were infected before.

methodsPatients with COVID-19 who were enrolled in this study were divided into two groups: 66 patients from November 2020 to March 2021 (group A) and 37 patients whose infection links were traced from Cluster K (group B). The primary outcome was mortality rate, and the secondary outcome was maximal oxygen flow rate as the severity of the disease. Viral genome sequences were compared between the two groups.

resultsMortality rates were 6.1% in group A and 16.2% in group B (odds ratio: 2.97, 95% confidence interval: 0.65-15.38). The patients in group B required high oxygen flow rate (O

conclusionThis study suggests that mutations in NSPs, especially nsp6, are associated with adverse clinical outcome in patients with COVID-19.
