Comparison of Computed Tomography Scoring Systems in Patients with COVID-19 and Hematological Malignancies.
Article in Cancers, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundNumerous computed tomography (CT) scales have been proposed to assess lung involvement in COVID-19 pneumonia as well as correlate radiological findings with patient outcomes.
objectiveComparison of different CT scoring systems in terms of time consumption and diagnostic performance in patients with hematological malignancies and COVID-19 infection. MATERIALS AND
methodsRetrospective analysis included hematological patients with COVID-19 and CT performed within 10 days of diagnosis of infection. CT scans were analyzed in three different semi-quantitative scoring systems, Chest CT Severity Score (CT-SS), Chest CT Score(CT-S), amd Total Severity Score (TSS), as well as qualitative modified Total Severity Score (m-TSS). Time consumption and diagnostic performance were analyzed.
resultsFifty hematological patients were included. Based on the ICC values, excellent inter-observer reliability was found among the three semi-quantitative methods with ICC > 0.9 (
conclusionsChest CT score and chest CT severity score have very high sensitivity and specificity in terms of diagnostic accuracy. The highest AUC values and the shortest median time of analysis in chest CT severity score indicate this method as preferred for semi-quantitative assessment of chest CT in hematological patients with COVID-19.
