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

The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the virus named Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), is a global public health problem in which atypical findings other than the usual fever and respiratory symptoms render early diagnosis and treatment difficult. Cases with atypical clinical and laboratory presentations continue to pose a challenge in the treatment and control of the disease. This case report aims to share our follow-up and treatment experience in a patient considered to have antithrombin III (ATIII) deficiency based on activated clotting time (ACT) levels unresponsive to heparin who was admitted to intensive care unit due to COVID-19-induced cytokine storm associated with extreme D-dimer elevation (>65,000 μg/L).
