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
Objective: The aim of this study was to explore the related factors for prolonged nucleic acid conversion time (NCT) in patients with SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant, so as to help to prevent and control the epidemic. Methods: This study retrospectively included 307 patients diagnosed with mild to moderate COVID-19 who were hospitalized in Shanghai International Exhibition Fangcang Shelter Hospital. Nucleic acid amplification detection method was used to detect 2019-nCoV nucleic acid in nasopharyngeal swab samples. Binary logistic regression models were developed to identify independent risk factors associated with the time to nucleic acid conversion, utilizing the Kaplan-Meier test for survival analysis. Results: In total, 307 patients were included in the study, with the median of NCT was 8 (6, 10) days, ranging 2 to 24 days, by which patients were divided into early NCT (<8 days) and late NCT (≥8 days). There was no difference between early and late NCT groups in gender, nationality, diabetes, previous sleep disorder, dyssomnia and depression (P = 0.222, 0.552, 0.118, 0.501, 0.133 and 0.603, respectively). There was a statistically significant difference between the two groups at different age levels, hypertension, anxiety (P=0.002, 0.001, 0.034). In the late NCT group, compared to early NCT, more patients with symptoms(37.5 vs 19.0%; P < 0.001), only cough and expectoration (29.4 vs 14.3; P=0.001), myodynia (13.8 vs 4.1; P=0.014) and fatigue (13.8 vs 4.1; P=0.003) were statistically different. There was no significant difference in the presence or absence of vaccination and the number of vaccination between the two groups(P=0.340 and 0.435). Conclusion: Our study showed that age, hypertension, and anxiety were independent risk factors associated with the NCT in patients with COVID-19. Potential risk factors should be taken into consideration for the strategy of quarantining infected patients.
