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

to identify the prevalence of systemic complications of COVID-19 in critically ill patients, to estimate the clinical conditions that may have a worse prognosis when associated with COVID-19. systematic review with meta-analysis of observational studies, based on the recommendations of the JBI Manual for Evidence Synthesis for systematic reviews of prevalence and incidence, in six databases and grey literature, period 2020 to 2024, languages Portuguese, English and Spanish. We identified 2393 publications. The selection, data extraction and methodological evaluation of the studies were carried out by two independent researchers. The meta-analysis was performed using the Freeman Tukey transformational random-effects statistical method. ten papers were included. The meta-analysis of seven papers dealing with respiratory complications due to COVID-19 demonstrated a mean prevalence of 42%, (95% CI 0.2-0.66) with heterogeneity I2=97.4; the meta-analysis of 4 papers involving the prevalence of neurological complications due to COVID-19 showed an average prevalence of 62%, (95% CI 0.49- 0.74) with heterogeneity I2=87.4 and the meta-analysis of 8 studies showed a prevalence of mortality due to COVID-19 of 33%, (95% CI 0.23- 0.44) with heterogeneity I2=93.6. respiratory and neurological complications were the most prevalent in the reviewed studies.
