Changes in Body Composition During Intensive Care Unit Stay and Outcomes in Patients with Severe COVID-19 Pneumonia: A Retrospective Cohort Study.
Observational study in Viruses, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
This single-center retrospective observational study investigated the association between changes in body composition during hospitalization and outcomes in patients with severe coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pneumonia. Body composition was assessed using chest computed tomography (CT) within 3 days of intensive care unit admission and follow-up CT within 14 days. The study population comprised 89 adult patients, among whom 57 survived. The median APACHE II score on admission was 16. Initial CT scans showed that the iliopsoas muscle volume, sum of the pectoralis major and minor muscle areas, and erector spinae muscle (ESM) area were significantly larger in survivors than in non-survivors (
