COVID-19 inpatient treatments and outcomes during the conflict in Syria: an observational cohort study.
Article in IJID regions, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Background: During the COVID-19 pandemic, countries undergoing conflict have faced difficulties in mounting an effective health response. This observational cohort study describes the treatments and outcomes for inpatients with COVID-19 in the Syrian city of Latakia. Design and methods: A single-centre observational cohort study was conducted at Tishreen University Hospital, involving all patients over 18 admitted between October 1 and December 31, 2021 with a positive RT-PCR test for SARS-CoV-2. Clinical features, investigations, treatments, and outcomes were reported. Results: In total, 149 patients fitted the study criteria. Only one patient was double vaccinated against COVID-19. Oxygen supplementation was required in 87% ( Conclusion: The pandemic has placed a compromised Syrian healthcare system under more significant strain. This requires urgent international relief efforts from health agencies in order to aid the pandemic response.
