Comparison of the Clinico-Demographic Profile of Patients Admitted to the COVID ICU of a Tertiary Care Hospital in Assam During the First and Second Waves of the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundWith the passage of time, COVID-19 strains have mutated, leading to newer strains, and reports are there on the differences in presentation, severity, and infectivity of COVID-19 in the first two waves of the pandemic.
objectiveComparison of the clinico-demographic profile and outcomes of patients admitted to the COVID ICU during the first and second waves. MATERIALS AND
methodsA hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted for a period of six months among patients admitted to the COVID ICU of Jorhat Medical College and Hospital, a tertiary care hospital in Assam, including 284 patients. Data were collected from bed head tickets available in the Medical Records Department office. The t-test and χ2 test were used to compare data between the two waves.
resultsIn the first wave, most of the patients were 60 years and above, while in the second wave, the majority of cases were between 40 and 60 years (χ
conclusionsThe data of the study gave us an insight into the changes and similarities of the two waves. Understanding the disease at the local level can help us be better prepared in case of any further recurrence of the pandemic.
