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

In December 2022, China classified COVID-19 as a category B infectious disease. This ended 2 years of close epidemiological surveillance of COVID-19. The objective of this questionnaire was to assess the infection status in the COVID-19 pandemic since December in Henan Province, China, and the prevalence of infection in people who were taking ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) during this period. We distributed questionnaires to patients attending the gastroenterology clinic at the First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of Chinese Medicine. The questionnaire lasted for 3 weeks and a total of 660 were collected, of which the number of people taking UDCA was 70. This is the first investigation into the rate of infection among those taking UDCA during the time of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our results showed that the overall infection rate among those taking UDCA was 71.43% (
