Impact of COVID-19 versus other pneumonia on in-hospital mortality and functional decline among Japanese dialysis patients: a retrospective cohort study.
Observational study in Scientific reports, 2024. 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
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) affects both life and health. However, the differentiation from other types of pneumonia and effect of kidney disease remains uncertain. This retrospective observational study investigated the risk of in-hospital death and functional decline in ≥ 20% of Barthel Index scores after COVID-19 compared to other forms of pneumonia among Japanese adults, both with and without end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). The study enrolled 123,378 patients aged 18 years and older from a national inpatient administrative claims database in Japan that covers the first three waves of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. After a 1:1:1:1 propensity score matching into non-COVID-19/non-dialysis, COVID-19/non-dialysis, non-COVID-19/dialysis, and COVID-19/dialysis groups, 2136 adults were included in the analyses. The multivariable logistic regression analyses revealed greater odds ratios (ORs) of death [5.92 (95% CI 3.62-9.96)] and functional decline [1.93 (95% CI 1.26-2.99)] only in the COVID-19/dialysis group versus the non-COVID-19/non-dialysis group. The COVID-19/dialysis group had a higher risk of death directly due to pneumonia (OR 6.02, 95% CI 3.50-10.8) or death due to other diseases (OR 3.00, 95% CI 1.11-8.48; versus the non-COVID-19/non-dialysis group). COVID-19 displayed a greater impact on physical function than other types of pneumonia particularly in ESKD.
