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
At the beginning of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic in December 2019 there was no available evidence regarding the management of immunosuppressive or immunomodulatory treatment and the potential outcomes of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections in inflammatory rheumatic diseases (IRD). As a result, the Justus Liebig University of Giessen, Germany, in collaboration with the German Society for Rheumatology, established the German COVID-19 register ( www.covid19-rheuma.de ). The COVID-19 register enabled for the first time a systematic documentation and evaluation of viral infections in patients with IRD. The data collection started as early as March 2020. Currently, the register is one of the largest global registers in the field of COVID-19 and IRD. As of 18 December 2023 the register has recorded more than 7100 cases. The first scientific findings on SARS-CoV‑2 infections in IRD patients were generated from the register in 2020, showing an association between disease activity of IRD, certain comorbidities, such as cardiovascular diseases and treatment with rituximab, with an unfavorable course. The contents and construction of the database of the register were designed at the conception to allow collaboration and data exchange with other national and international registers (e.g., EULAR COVID-19 register, COVID-19 global rheumatology alliance and the Lean European open survey on SARS-CoV‑2 infected patients). In addition, other registers and surveys were initiated. A vaccination register documents the tolerability and possible adverse reactions to COVID-19 vaccination in IRD patients. The data resulted in numerous publications and formed the basis for national and international recommendations for action in the care and vaccination of IRD patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. In summary, the German COVID-19 register has made a significant contribution to the understanding of the course of COVID-19 in IRD patients and has facilitated international collaboration for a better understanding of COVID-19 and IRD.
