Risk Factors Associated with the Severity of COVID-19.
Review in The Malaysian journal of medical sciences : MJMS, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 31 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 case of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has become a global crisis. In addition, more variants of the virus have been discovered with easier transmission and more harmful effects. Thus, understanding the risk factors associated with the susceptibility and severity of COVID-19 is critical for disease control. This review article aims to describe the risk factors associated with the severity of COVID-19. This study uses the article review method from research results obtained through searching the journal sites Google Scholar, PubMed, ProQuest and ScientDirect in the 2020-2021 period. To find articles that match the inclusion criteria we used the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) strategy. A total of nine studies met the inclusion criteria for this review. These nine studies were assessed for quality, data extraction and synthesis. Risk factors that contribute to the severity of COVID-19 are age, gender, chronic comorbidities, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, hypertension, kidney failure, cancer and a history of smoking. New findings, unvaccinated patients are at higher risk of severity. Risk factors associated with the severity of COVID-19 include a person's individual characteristics, co-morbidities, smoking history and unvaccinated.
