Unvaccinated Non-Elderly Adult Population Hospitalized for COVID-19: Risk for Severe Disease and Poor Outcomes.
Article in Journal of primary care & community health. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
introductionVaccination offers significant protection against hospitalization and death due to severe COVID-19. However, a significant portion of the nonelderly U.S. adult population remains unvaccinated.
methodsThis retrospective analysis of adult patients aged under 65 years hospitalized with PCR-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 between March and November 2021 assessed the age-biased risk for severe disease and outcome in non-elderly unvaccinated adults hospitalized for COVID-19. Main measures included predisposing risk factors, disease severity and progression, and outcomes in non-elderly adults compared between (1) vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals and (2) unvaccinated individuals grouped by 10-year age increment.
resultsTwo hundred nineteen non-elderly adults were included; of whom, 82.6% were unvaccinated. Overall, unvaccinated patients were more likely to be obese (60% vs 29%,
conclusionResults from our non-elderly cohort affirm the benefit of vaccination despite a subset requiring hospitalization for breakthrough infection. In unvaccinated non-elderly adults, risk for worse outcomes and severe disease increased substantially from middle age onward and provides strong support for vaccination efforts in this population.
