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

Every second patient who suffers from COVID-19 experiences is at risk for depression. The treatment of severe depression with suicidal risk is challenging in patients with COVID-19 given the restrictions in access to and safety concerns with the use of electroconvulsive therapy during the COVID pandemic. Although ketamine is effective in treating depression, especially in presence of acute suicidality, to date, there are no reports on ketamine use to treat severe depression in the context of COVID-19. In this case report, we describe the success of ketamine to treat a person with severe depression and suicidality following COVID-19 infection.
