An Overview of Discrete Distributions in Modelling COVID-19 Data Sets.
Article in Sankhya. Series A. (2008), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
The mathematical modeling of the coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic has been attempted by a large number of researchers from the very beginning of cases worldwide. The purpose of this research work is to find and classify the modelling of COVID-19 data by determining the optimal statistical modelling to evaluate the regular count of new COVID-19 fatalities, thus requiring discrete distributions. Some discrete models are checked and reviewed, such as Binomial, Poisson, Hypergeometric, discrete negative binomial, beta-binomial, Skellam, beta negative binomial, Burr, discrete Lindley, discrete alpha power inverse Lomax, discrete generalized exponential, discrete Marshall-Olkin Generalized exponential, discrete Gompertz-G-exponential, discrete Weibull, discrete inverse Weibull, exponentiated discrete Weibull, discrete Rayleigh, and new discrete Lindley. The probability mass function and the hazard rate function are addressed. Discrete models are discussed based on the maximum likelihood estimates for the parameters. A numerical analysis uses the regular count of new casualties in the countries of Angola,Ethiopia, French Guiana, El Salvador, Estonia, and Greece. The empirical findings are interpreted in-depth.
