Estimation of the size of the COVID-19 pandemic using the epidemiological wavelength model: results from OECD countries.
Article in Public health, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectivesThis study aimed to simplify the previously developed epidemiological wavelength model and to expand the scope of the model with additional variables to estimate the magnitude of the COVID-19 pandemic. The applicability of the extended wavelength model was tested in Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) member countries. STUDY
designThe epidemiological wavelengths of OECD member countries for the years 2020, 2021 and 2022 were estimated comparatively, considering the cumulative number of COVID-19 cases.
methodsThe size of the COVID-19 pandemic was estimated using the wavelength model. The scope of the wavelength model was expanded to include additional variables. The extended estimation model was improved by adding population density and human development index variables, in addition to the number of COVID-19 cases and number of days since the first case reported from the previous estimation model.
resultsAccording to the findings obtained from the wavelength model, the country with the highest epidemiological wavelength for the years 2020, 2021 and 2022 was the United States (W
conclusionsDecision-makers can use the extended wavelength model to easily follow the progress of the epidemic and to make quicker and more reliable decisions.
