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

COVID-19 pandemic had a great impact on health systems and cancer care worldwide. Patients with cancer who develop COVID-19 are at high risk of severe outcomes and clarifying the determinants of such vulnerability of cancer patients would be of great clinical benefit. While the mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2 infection have been elucidated, the pathogenetic pathways leading to severe manifestations of the disease are largely unknown. Critical manifestations of COVID-19 mainly occur in elderly patients and in patients with serious comorbidities including cancer. Efforts to understand the intersection of pathways between severe manifestations of COVID-19 and cancer may shed light on the pathogenesis of critical illness in COVID-19 patients. Here, we will focus our attention on two major fields of potential intersection between COVID-19 and cancer, namely the dysfunction of immune system and the prothrombotic state that can occur in both COVID-19 and cancer patients, testing whether cancer imaging can provide clues to better understand such interactions.
