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

Immunocompromised (IC) patients continue to be at risk of severe COVID-19 despite vaccination and anti-SARS-CoV-2 therapies. The comparative effectiveness of antiviral agents (AVAs) and monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs) as early treatment of SARS-CoV-2 in IC patients is described in this work. This retrospective multicenter cohort study included IC outpatients diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 between March 2021 and March 2022 at the National Institute for Infectious Diseases "Lazzaro Spallanzani" and Santa Maria Goretti University Hospital, Italy. Patients received either AVAs or MoAbs based on national guidelines. The primary outcome was time to negative nasopharyngeal swab (NPS). The secondary outcomes were COVID-19-related hospitalization or death by day 30. Among 1472 IC patients (with a median age of 58 years, 45% male), 688 (46%) were treated with MoAbs, and 783 (54%) were treated with AVAs. The patients treated with MoAbs had a higher duration to negative NPS (17 vs. 11 days,
