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

SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant is significantly different from all the previous variants and has rapidly replaced other variants as the dominant variant across the globe. An easily obtained, inexpensive, and rapid marker is needed to predict the negative conversion time (NCT) of nucleic acid in nonsevere COVID-19 patients infected by the Omicron variant. This retrospective study enrolled 226 patients infected by the Omicron variant between April 23, 2022, and May 16, 2022. The median age of the patients was 61 (interquartile range (IQR), 48-70) years, and 56.2% were male. 84 patients (37.2%) had at least one comorbidity, and 49 patients (21.7%) were classified into the moderate illness group. 145 patients (64.2%) received at least one dose of vaccine, in which 67 patients (29.6%) received a booster dose of vaccine. The median duration of NCT was 8 (IQR, 7-11) days. Univariate Cox analyses found that high NLR (>2.22), aged ≥65 years, vaccination, and moderate illness were significantly related to the NCT of nucleic acid. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that high NLR (NLR > 2.22, hazard ratio (HR):0.718, 95% CI: 0.534-0.964,
