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

Background: Since January 2020, the continuous and severe COVID-19 epidemic has ravaged various countries around the world and affected their emergency medical systems (EMS). The total number of emergency calls and the number of emergency calls for central nervous system (CNS) symptoms during the 2020 COVID-19 outbreak in Hangzhou, China (January 20-March 20) were investigated, and it was investigated whether these numbers had decreased as compared with the corresponding period in 2019. Methods: The number of daily emergency calls, ambulance dispatches, and rescues at the Hangzhou Emergency Center (HEC) was counted. The CNS symptoms considered in this study included those of cerebrovascular diseases, mental and behavioral disorders, and other neurological diseases. Results: It was found that, during the 2020 study period, the number of emergency calls was 33,563, a decrease of 19.83% (95% CI: 14.02-25.41%) as compared to the 41,863 emergency calls in 2019 ( Conclusion: The total number of medical emergency calls and the number of emergency calls for CNS symptoms occurring in a large city in China decreased significantly during the COVID-19 epidemic.
