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
backgroundDiagnostic dilemma arises when patients with clinical suspicion of COVID-19 disease having moderate-to-severe respiratory symptoms yield negative result for COVID-19 in reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). This study evaluated the clinical, laboratory and HRCT thorax findings among RT-PCR-negative COVID-19 suspects with moderate-to-severe disease. MATERIALS AND
methodsA hospital-based retrospective observational study was conducted between July 2021 to December 2021, among 60 moderate and severe symptomatic COVID-19 suspects admitted in the severe acute respiratory illness (SARI) ward and intensive care unit (ICU), who were negative for COVID-19 in RT-PCR. Data were abstracted from the medical records section of the hospital using a predesigned data abstraction form and presented by descriptive statistics.
resultsMean age of study participants was 55.5 years (SD 14.1 years), and majority were males (
conclusionDiagnosis of COVID-19 can be presumed in RT-PCR-negative suspected COVID-19 patients with moderate-to-severe disease, with marked rise of inflammatory markers and HRCT revealing typical findings of COVID-19 pneumonia.
