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

Background: Understanding the factors influencing viral clearance in hospitalized COVID-19 patients, including vaccination status and antiviral therapy, is critical for optimizing clinical management. Methods: 1,424 hospitalized COVID-19 patients retrospectively included from four tertiary hospitals in Hainan Province between March and December 2022. Viral clearance was defined as the interval from hospital admission to the first of two consecutive RT-PCR tests with Ct values ≥35. Clinical data, vaccination history, and antiviral treatment were collected. A generalized linear mixed model and Robust regression were used to assess viral clearance dynamics and their predictors. Results: Delayed viral clearance was independently associated with advanced age ( Conclusion: Viral clearance dynamics in hospitalized COVID-19 patients are influenced by age, comorbidities, vaccination, and antiviral treatment. Administration of ≥2 inactivated vaccine doses-especially ≥360 days apart-and early N/R therapy may accelerate viral clearance and reduce hospital stay.
