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

The novel coronavirus infection is a global health concern in 2020. Computerized tomography (CT) scan has an important role in diagnosis and follow-up with the course of the disease. The most common radiologic findings in patients are bilateral peripheral patchy ground-glass opacities and consolidations. Although in a few cases, as we reported, we encountered some rare manifestations such as pneumothorax, pneumomediastinum, and subcutaneous emphysema, which imply distinct concerns about the management and outcome of the disease. Pulmonary interstitial emphysema develops due to an increase in alveolar pressure or because of alveolar rupture, secondary to alveolar membrane damage by the virus and proceed to such a complication. Therefore, it is crucial to be aware of the complications of novel coronavirus infection in the deterioration of the disease.
