Critical care in developing nations: what has the COVID-19 pandemic revealed?
Article in The Pan African medical journal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
The COVID-19 pandemic has altered the lives of millions of individuals, resulting in over 600 million cases and over 6 million fatalities worldwide. In developing nations, mortality rates for intubated patients with viral pneumonia were as high as 80%, compared to 30% in developed countries. This article intends to discuss the causes of this disparity, focusing on the main problems shared by nations with limited resources.
