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

objectivesThis study investigated the clinical efficacy and safety of oral Janus kinase inhibitors (JAKis) in the treatment of hospitalized patients with COVID-19.

methodsThe PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and ClinicalTrials.gov databases were searched for relevant articles written before January 29, 2022. Only randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that assessed the clinical efficacy and safety of oral JAKis in patients with COVID-19 were included.

resultsIn the pooled analysis of the 7 RCTs, the all-cause 28-day mortality rate in the study group receiving JAKis was significantly lower than that in the control group (9.4% [183/1941] vs. 10.9% [184/1687], risk ratio [RR] = 0.69, 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.58-0.81, I

conclusionsOral JAKis can significantly reduce the risk of death among patients with COVID-19. In addition, JAKis are tolerable for hospitalized patients with COVID-19.
