Retraction Notice.
Article in The American journal of tropical medicine and hygiene, 2022. 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
Abd-Elsalam S, Esmail ES, Khalaf M, Abdo EF, Medhat MA, Abd El Ghafar MS, Ahmed OA, Soliman S, Serangawy GN, Albor-aie M, 2020. Hydroxychloroquine in the Treatment of COVID-19: A Multicenter Randomized Controlled Study.Am J Trop MedHyg 103(4):1635-1639. doi: 10.4269/ajtmh.20-0873. PMID: 32828135; PMCID: PMC7543820. Abd-Elsalam S, Salama M, Soliman S, Naguib AM, Ibrahim IS, Torky M, El Ghafar MSA, Abdul-Baki EAM, Elhendawy M,2021. Remdesivir Efficacy in COVID-19 Treatment: A Randomized Controlled Trial.Am J Trop Med Hyg 106(3):886-890.doi: 10.4269/ajtmh.21-0606. PMID: 34649223; PMCID: PMC8922517. The above articles, published in The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, have been retracted by the Journal. The decision is the result of an investigation based on concerns raised by a third party. Specific concerns are as follows. First, as acknowledged by the authors, data overlap and/or copying has occurred between the two manuscripts. Second, the authors have not provided a reasonable explanation for this major problem. Third, adequate data error-checking or validation has not been provided by the authors to ensure that the remaining results presented in the papers accurately represent the sourced data. Given these facts, the Journal has lost confidence in the totality of data described in the two papers. Because of this, and because of insufficient answers to repeated inquiries, we have made the decision to retract both articles.
