COVID-19: Clinical features, case fatality, and the effect of symptoms on mortality in hospitalized cases in Iran.
Article in Journal of Taibah University Medical Sciences, 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
Objective: Identifying the epidemiological characteristics of COVID-19 could help to control the pandemic. The aim of this study was to characterize the epidemiological features of hospitalized COVID-19 patients in Iran. Methods: Data were collected on patients admitted to a military referral hospital in Tehran, Iran, from February 8, 2020 to July 28, 2021. Sex, age, clinical symptoms, outcome, type of comorbidities, level of blood Spo Results: The median hospital length of stay (LOS) was 6 days. The following symptoms were most common: cough (63.5%), fever (50%), respiratory distress (46.1%), and muscular pain (40.8%). Hypertension (29.5%), diabetes (24.7%), and cardiovascular diseases (21.8%) were the most prevalent comorbidities. The CFR was calculated at 8.30%. Respiratory symptoms increased the odds of death by 45% (OR 1.45, 95% CI 1.03-2.06). Gastrointestinal symptoms were associated with a reduction in the mortality of COVID-19 cases, but this association was not statistically significant (OR 0.94, 95% CI 0.73-1.21). Conclusions: The results of this study emphasize higher mortality rates among older age groups, male patients, and patients with underlying diseases.
