Effect of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy on Patients with SARS-CoV-2 Infection: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

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
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) on patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection and determine its efficacy and safety in reducing treatment failure events. Methods: A retrospective cohort study involving patients with COVID-19 was conducted. Inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) was used to balance covariates between the HBOT and non-HBOT groups. The primary endpoint was the occurrence of a clinical treatment failure event, defined as all-cause mortality, abandonment of treatment, or transfer to the Intensive Care Unit due to worsening condition. Results: A total of 720 patients with COVID-19 were enrolled in the study, with 27 patients receiving HBOT and 693 patients not receiving HBOT. The occurrence of treatment failure was significantly lower in the HBOT group compared to the non-HBOT group, with no treatment failure events in the HBOT group versus 36 events in the non-HBOT group. The IPTW database analysis results showed that in comparison to the non-HBOT group, the hazard ratio (HR) for treatment failure in the HBOT group was less than 0.001 (95% CI: <0.001 ~ <0.001, p<0.001). Lymphocyte count >0.8×10 Conclusion: This study revealed that adjunctive HBOT significantly reduces the risk of treatment failure in patients with COVID-19 and is associated with satisfactory safety. HBOT shows promise as a beneficial therapy for improving outcomes in COVID-19-infected patients.
