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 COVID-19 pandemic that has been ongoing since the beginning of 2020 has forced health care into a difficult struggle for wellness and the lives of patients. International data and our observations show that the course of the disease in these patients is different than in the general population. Symptoms depend on the immunosuppression and severity of viremia. The period of viral replication is much longer. Our observations include 4 pediatric patients post heart transplant who became infected with the coronavirus. One patient was infected in the hospital during perioperative period. Two others required hospitalization because of the severity of symptoms, and 1 was treated on an outpatient basis. The applied treatment included the reduction of immunosuppression, low-molecular-weight heparin, amantadine or remdesivir, steroids, and supplementation with zinc and vitamins C and D. Based on the antigenic tests performed, we determined the period of active replication to be 3 to 8 weeks from the onset of the first symptoms.
