Significant risk of COVID-19 and related-hospitalization among patients with adrenal insufficiency: A large multinational survey.
Article in Frontiers in endocrinology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Objective: To determine self-reported incidence and potential risk factors for COVID-19 in patients with adrenal insufficiency (AI). Methods: A 27-item AI survey was developed for AI and COVID-19 status, vetted by specialists and patients, and distributed Results: Respondents (n=1291) with self-reported glucocorticoid treatment for AI, completed the survey, with 456 who reported having symptoms and were screened for COVID-19 during 2020; 40 tested positive (+ve), representing an 8.8% incidence. Of the COVID-19 Conclusion: A markedly raised RR of COVID-19 and hospitalization in respondents reporting chronic AI was detected. We found that a diagnosis of congenital adrenal hyperplasia, age>40 years, male gender, pulmonary disease, and higher maintenance doses of glucocorticoids were associated with greatest risk.
