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

Background: Indonesia had the second-highest number of COVID-19 cases and deaths in South-East Asia. We aimed to determine the factors associated with this mortality and the effect of the recommended COVID-19 treatment regimen during the first 10 months of the epidemic. Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study using secondary data from medical records. In total, 689 adult COVID-19 inpatients hospitalized between March and December 2020 were enrolled. Clinical characteristics, laboratory parameters, and treatments were analyzed by survival outcome. Kaplan-Meier statistics were used to estimate survival. Findings: Of the 689 patients enrolled, 103 (14.9%) died. Disease severity was highly associated with mortality (hazard ratio [HR]: 7.69, Interpretation: Older age and comorbidities were associated with disease severity and, consequently, higher mortality. Higher mortality after the second week of hospitalization may be related to secondary bacterial infection. Favipiravir showed significant benefit for COVID-19 survival, while steroids showed benefit only in the early days of admission among patients with severe disease. Funding: This research did not receive a specific grant from any funding agency in the public, commercial, or not-for-profit sectors.
