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

Romania has a poor uptake of COVID-19 vaccination in its population. The study objectives were to evaluate the differences between vaccinated and unvaccinated hospitalized COVID-19 patients with regard to disease severity, intensive care need, and mortality during the fourth and the fifth wave of the pandemic associated with the Delta and Omicron variants of concern. A retrospective study on a cohort of hospitalized COVID-19 patients was performed in a Romanian tertiary hospital for infectious diseases. Multivariate logistic regression models were built predicting severe/critical COVID-19, intensive care need, and death as a function of vaccination status and adjusted for age, comorbidities, and wave of the pandemic. 2235 COVID-19 patients were included, and vaccination status, as a primary vaccination or a booster dose, was described in 750 (33.5%). Unvaccinated patients were older, with more cardiovascular and endocrine diseases, a longer duration of hospitalization, a higher percentage of severe/critical COVID-19, need for intensive care, and death (
