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

Objective: This study aimed to compare the clinical risks and outcomes of COVID-19 and influenza. Methods: The search for relevant articles was conducted using both a database search method and a manual search, which involved searching through the reference lists of articles related to the topic for additional studies. The Quality assessment was carried out using the Newcastle Ottawa tool, and the data analysis was conducted using the Review Manager Software (RevMan 5.4.1). Results: The meta-analysis results indicated that COVID-19 patients had similar lengths of hospital stays (SMD: -0.25; 95% CI: -0.60-0.11; Conclusion: The findings suggested that COVID-19 was more severe than influenza. Therefore, "flu-like" symptoms should not be dismissed without a clear diagnosis, especially during the winter when influenza is more prevalent.
