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

Evidence suggests that SARS-CoV-2 viral load is an independent predictor of disease severity and mortality. A 61-year-old woman presented with severe COVID-19 and was treated with casirivimab/imdevimab and remdesivir. Quantitative nasopharyngeal (NP) viral loads were trended throughout the treatment course. Baseline NP viral load was 25,860,901 copies/mL (7.4 log10). Casirivimab/imdevimab was administered, with subsequent reduction in NP viral load to 26,049 copies/mL (4.4 log10) on hospital day 4. A repeat NP viral load on day 7 was 13,113 copies/mL (4.1 log10). Despite uncertainty regarding correlation with reduction in viral load and outcomes, NP viral load may be considered when selecting treatment options and evaluating treatment response in hospitalized patients with early infection.
