The Role of Computed Tomography in the Management of Hospitalized Patients With COVID-19.
Review in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
The emergence of SARS-CoV-2 at the end of 2019 sparked the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. Even though it was a novel virus, the workup of suspected COVID-19 included standard protocols used for the investigation of similar respiratory infections and pneumonia. One of the most important diagnostic tests in this regard is computed tomography (CT). CT scans have a high sensitivity in diagnosing COVID-19, and many of the characteristic imaging findings of COVID-19 are used in its diagnosis. The role of CT in COVID-19 management is expanding as more and more hospital practices adopt regular CT use in both the initial workup and continued care of COVID-19 patients. CT has helped hospitalists diagnose complications such as pulmonary embolism, subcutaneous emphysema, pneumomediastinum, pneumothoraces, and nosocomial pneumonia. Although mainly used as a diagnostic tool, the prognostic role of CT in COVID-19 patients is developing. In this review, we explore the role of CT in the management of hospitalized patients with COVID-19, specifically elucidating its use as a diagnostic and prognostic modality, as well as its ability to guide hospital decision-making regarding complex cases. We will highlight important time points when CT scans are used: the initial encounter, the time at admission, and during hospitalization.
