Effect of Tocilizumab on Mortality in Patients with SARS-CoV-2 Pneumonia Caused by Delta or Omicron Variants: A Propensity-Matched Analysis in Nimes University Hospital, France.
Article in Antibiotics (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
We aimed to assess the factors associated with mortality in patients treated with tocilizumab for a SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia due to the delta or omicron variants of concern (VOC) and detect an effect of tocilizumab on mortality. We conducted a prospective cohort study in a tertiary hospital from 1 August 2021 to 31 March 2022 including patients with severe COVID-19, treated with tocilizumab. Factors associated with mortality were assessed in a Cox model; then, the 60-day mortality rates of COVID-19 patients treated with standard of care (SoC) +/- tocilizumab were compared after 1:1 propensity score matching. The mortality rate was 22% (N = 26/118) and was similar between delta and omicron cases (
