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.

2 · The registry

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

Aim: We evaluated the rate of COVID-19 microbial coinfection in an Iranian population. Methods: In this single-center, retrospective observational study, we evaluated 453 septic COVID-19 patients for possible coinfection in an Iranian hospital. Results: Overall, 211 (46.57%) cases died due to COVID-19 complications. Positive respiratory secretion and blood cultures were reported in 99 (21.9%) and 19 (4.2%) cases. Conclusion: Coinfections with bacteria and fungi independently contribute to poor outcomes in septic COVID-19 patients.
