1 · What the graph read from 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.

Abstract

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused a progress in research to find a solution to this pandemic. Also, various advances in pharmacotherapy against COVID-19 have emerged. Regarding antiviral therapy, casirivimab and imdevimab are antibodies combination against COVID-19. Standard antiviral therapy against COVID-19 includes remdesivir and favipiravir. The objectives were to compare progression and multi-organ function of hospitalized COVID-19 patients between these three antiviral groups. 265 COVID-19 hospitalized patients were included in this study and were divided into 3 groups (1:2:2), respectively, Group (A): casirivimab and imdevimab, group (B): remdesivir, and group (C): favipiravir. The design of the study is a single blind non-randomized controlled trial. This study is a phase IV clinical trial (post-marketing study). The duration of the study was about 6 months after receiving the ethical approval. Casirivimab and imdevimab achieved less case progression as presented by lower World Health Organization scale (
