Rates of Hospitalization and Death due to COVID-19 in US Veterans With SARS-CoV-2 Infection in the XBB-, JN.1-, and KP-Predominant Eras.
Article in Open forum infectious diseases, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Between September 2023 and October 2024, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 evolved through 3 variant-predominant eras: XBB, JN.1, and KP. Among 130 263 Department of Veterans Affairs patients with coronavirus disease 2019, hospitalization odds declined for JN.1 (0.81; 95% CI, 0.74-0.89) and KP (0.80; 95% CI, 0.72-0.88) compared with XBB, with consistently low in-hospital death rates across all eras.
