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

COVID-19 continues to impact global health systems even after being declared over, with some patients exhibiting severe complications linked to pre-existing conditions. This study aimed to investigate the association between comorbidities, complications, and survival outcomes among COVID-19 survivors in Western Romania. Our hypothesis posited that comorbidities and complications significantly influence survival rates. We conducted a retrospective analysis of 1948 COVID-19 survivors admitted from January to December 2021, with 192 selected for detailed analysis based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The severity of COVID-19 was classified according to WHO guidelines, and conditions like hypertension and obesity were defined using criteria from the European Society of Hypertension (ESH), the European Society of Cardiology (ESC), and WHO, respectively. Among the 192 patients, 33 had mild, 62 had moderate, and 97 had severe COVID-19. The median age across the severity groups was 63.2 years. Patients undergoing tracheostomy had a mortality rate of 83.3% versus 22.2% for non-tracheostomy patients (
