COVID-19 Cycle Threshold/Cycle Number Testing at a Community Living Center.

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
Background: COVID-19 imposes a special risk to the nursing home population, including community living centers (CLCs) for veterans. Cycle threshold/cycle number (CT/CN) values obtained by serial reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) testing could yield valuable information about viral load and potential infectiousness. Serial testing for COVID-19 with CT/CN correlates in a nursing home population during an outbreak has not yet been reported in the literature. Methods: A retrospective review of serial RT-PCR testing for COVID-19 during an outbreak at a CLC was performed from March 28 to April 4, 2020, with follow-up of identified patients until November 10, 2020. Testing was performed on the Abbot Results: Of 80 patients tested, 25 (31%) were positive for COVID-19. CT/CN values corresponded to the infection course as expected. Conclusions: Repeat testing for COVID-19 accompanied by CT/CN values could provide clinical and epidemiologic information about the likely stage of the patients' disease course, which may aid public health measures and clinical management.
