Infodemics during era of COVID-19 pandemic: A review of literature.
Review in Journal of family medicine and primary care, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.
Who cites it

Abstract
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, caused by the new coronavirus severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has spread across the globe and has affected the health of millions of people. During the pandemic, social media was the major source of information for isolated and anxious people. Infodemics is defined as "an overburden of information - some accurate and some not - that makes it hard for people to find trustworthy source and reliable guidance when they need it." Misinformation raised out of infodemics during COVID-19 created many serious issues regarding the prevention and treatment of COVID-19. With the help of available literature, we aimed to review the role of infodemic in relation to worsening of COVID-19 spread and vaccine utilization with possible preventable measures to control infodemic. Various social media platforms were a major source of infodemic. The active role of world agencies, narrative guidelines by the local authority, use of artificial intelligence (AI) by social media platforms and active participation of community and health care professionals can control infodemics effectively.
