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: To assess whether baseline pulmonary artery diameter (PAD), obtained from noncontrast nongated computed tomography (NCCT), can be associated with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outcomes. Patients and Methods: This is a retrospective study of patients hospitalized with COVID-19 admitted to Hôtel-Dieu de France university hospital (Beirut, Lebanon) between March 1, 2020 and March 1, 2021. Pulmonary artery diameter was measured at baseline NCCT. Various outcomes were assessed, including hospital length of stay, intensive care unit admission, invasive mechanical ventilation, mortality, and Post-COVID-19 Functional Status scale at discharge and at 2-month follow-up. Results: Four hundred sixty-five patients underwent baseline NCCT, including 315 men (67.7%) with a mean age of 63.7±16 years. Baseline PAD was higher in critically ill patients admitted to the intensive care unit (mean difference, 0.8 mm; 95% CI, 0.4-1.59 mm) and those receiving invasive mechanical ventilation (mean difference, 1.1 mm; 95% CI, 0.11-2.04 mm). Pulmonary artery diameter at baseline correlated significantly with hospital length of stay ( Conclusion: Baseline PAD measurement using NCCT can be a useful prognostic parameter. Its measurement can help to identify early severe cases and adapt the initial management of patients hospitalized with COVID-19.
