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

Radiology plays a crucial role for the diagnosis and management of COVID-19 patients during the different stages of the disease, allowing for early detection of manifestations and complications of COVID-19 in the different organs. Lungs are the most common organs involved by SARS-CoV-2 and chest computed tomography (CT) represents a reliable imaging-based tool in acute, subacute, and chronic settings for diagnosis, prognosis, and management of lung disease and the evaluation of acute and chronic complications. Cardiac involvement can be evaluated by using cardiac computed tomography angiography (CCTA), considered as the best choice to solve the differential diagnosis between the most common cardiac conditions: acute coronary syndrome, myocarditis, and cardiac dysrhythmia. By using compressive ultrasound it's possible to study the peripheral arteries and veins and to exclude the deep vein thrombosis, directly linked to the onset of pulmonary embolism. Moreover, CT and especially MRI can help to evaluate the gastrointestinal involvement and assess hepatic function, pancreas involvement, and exclude causes of lymphocytopenia, thrombocytopenia, and leukopenia, typical of COVID-19 patients. Finally, radiology plays a crucial role in the early identification of renal damage in COVID-19 patients, by using both CT and US. This narrative review aims to provide a comprehensive radiological analysis of commonly involved organs in patients with COVID-19 disease.
