Role of remdesivir for the treatment of COVID-19 in patients with hematologic malignancy-A narrative review and expert opinion.
Review in European journal of clinical investigation, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundCOVID-19 remains a potentially severe condition for immunocompromised individuals, such as patients with hematologic malignancy. These patients are at increased risk of progressing to severe-critical or prolonged COVID-19. Prompt treatment with antivirals has proven effective in preventing disease progression and is recommended by current guidelines. We discuss here the position of remdesivir in the management of onco-hematologic patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 and strategies for its use.
methodsNarrative review of current evidence regarding remdesivir in the treatment of COVID-19 in patients with hematologic malignancy.
resultsPatients with non-severe COVID-19 should receive remdesivir as soon as possible after diagnosis, and within 7 days from symptom onset. A 3-day treatment duration is recommended. In patients at high risk of developing severe COVID-19 - patients with B-cell depletion and recipients of allogeneic HSCT or CAR T cell therapy or bispecific antibodies - treatment may be prolonged and/or combined with other COVID-19 therapeutics. Patients with severe COVID-19 requiring supplemental oxygen should receive remdesivir as soon as possible, preferentially for 10 days. In those at high risk of progressing to critical COVID-19, combination of remdesivir with other COVID-19 therapeutics can be considered. In case of relapse or persisting symptoms, remdesivir treatment can be prolonged and/or repeated or combined with other COVID-19 therapeutics.
conclusionsEvidence from clinical trials and real-world studies shows that remdesivir is a valid option for the treatment of SARS-CoV-2-infected onco-hematologic patients, across a wide spectrum of COVID-19 severity. The drawback of remdesivir-intravenous administration mode-is counterbalanced by good tolerability, negligible drug-drug interactions and a high barrier to virus resistance.
