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

Multiple prior studies have shown an increased risk of severe disease and death from SARS-CoV-2 infection in patients with cancer. Nolan and colleagues conducted a multi-institution, electronic health record (EHR)-based study of adults hospitalized with COVID-19 delineating the difference in outcomes when stratified by current versus former cancer diagnosis and found that only a current diagnosis appears to confer an increased risk of severe COVID-19 and death.We review these findings in the context of other studies examining outcomes for individuals with cancer diagnoses and COVID-19. We also address questions raised by this type of study about the significant challenges of EHR-based studies and discuss potential avenues for future research in this arena. See related article by Nolan et al., p. 12.
