Clinical course and prognostic factors of COVID-19 infection in patients with chronic inflammatory-rheumatic disease: A retrospective, case-control study.

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
Objectives: This study aims to investigate the prognosis of novel coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) infection in patients with the chronic inflammatory-rheumatic disease and evaluate the effects of immunosuppressive drugs on the prognosis, clinical characteristics, laboratory findings and hospitalization periods of the rheumatic patients with COVID-19 infection. Patients and methods: Between April 2020 and March 2021, a total of 101 patients (30 males, 71 females; mean age: 48±14.4 years; range, 46 to 48 years) with the rheumatic diseases diagnosed with COVID-19 infection were included. A total of 102 age- and sex-matched patients (35 males, 67 females; mean age: 44±14.4 years; range, 28 to 44 years) who were diagnosed with COVID-19 infection and had no history of rheumatic disease in the same period were included as the control group. Data including demographic characteristics of the patients, presence of any symptoms of COVID-19 disease, laboratory data at the time of diagnosis, and treatments administered were collected. Results: The rate of hospitalization was higher in 38 (37%) patients without rheumatic diseases than in 31 (31%) patients with rheumatic diseases (p=0.324). The rate of lung infiltration on radiographic examination was higher in patients without rheumatic diseases (40% Conclusion: Patients with the chronic inflammatory-rheumatic disease have more symptoms due to COVID-19 infection, but the disease course is not poor and hospitalization rates are lower.
