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

backgroundAccording to the population statistics in 2023, there were 110000 people aged over 100 years in China, and the experience of using Paxlovid (nirmatrelvir/ritonavir) for centenarians is particularly valuable. This article reports our experience of using Paxlovid in a centenarian with the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection. CASE SUMMARY: A 103-year-old female with mild COVID-19 and renal insufficiency was given sufficient Paxlovid for 2 days and a half dose for 3 days. During treatment, the patient was complicated with lung infection and heart failure, and nucleic acid remained positive. After expert consultation, a full dose of Paxlovid was given again on the 9th day of admission for 2 days and a half dose for 3 days. Meanwhile, anti-heart failure and antibiotics were administered; the heart failure and pulmonary infection were improved. Finally, on the 33

conclusionThis case suggests that Paxlovid can be used cautiously in centenarians with renal insufficiency and two courses of treatment can be considered in patients with persistent positive nucleic acid.
