Predicting infection with COVID-19 disease using logistic regression model in Karak City, Jordan.
Article in F1000Research, 2023. 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
Background: On March 2020, World Health Organization (WHO) labeled coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) as a pandemic. COVID-19 has rapidly increased in Jordan which resulted in the announcement of the emergency state on March 19th, 2020. Despite the variety of research being reported, there is no agreement on the variables that predict COVID-19 infection. This study aimed to test the predictors that probably contributed to the infection with COVID-19 using a binary logistic regression model. Methods: Based on data collected by Google sheet of COVID-19 infected and non-infected persons in Karak city, analysis was applied to predict COVID-19 infection probability using a binary logistic regression model. Results: A total of 386 participants have completed the questionnaire including 323 women and 63 men. Among the participants 295 (76.4%) were aged less than or equal 45 years old, and 91 (23.6%) were aged over 45 years old. Among the 386 participants a total of 275 were infected with COVID-19. The Logistic regression test was used to analyze every demographic characteristic (sex, age, job, smoking, chronic disease, yearly flu injection) in this study to find predictors of the likelihood of COVID-19 infection. The findings indicate that the participants' sex and age are the most important demographic determinants of infection. Female gender was associated with higher infection risk compared to males (OR = 2.04, 95% CI: 1.17-3.58, p = 0.012). Participants aged >45 years had increased infection risk compared to those ≤45 years (OR = 1.91, 95% CI: 1.11-3.30, p = 0.020). Cox & Snell R Square (R2 = 0.028) and Nagelkerke R Square (R2 = 0.039) indicators were used to measure model fineness with a significant P-value < 0.05. Conclusions: Given a person's age and sex, the final model presented in this study can be used to calculate the probability of infection with COVID-19 in Karak city. This could help aid health-care management and policymakers in properly planning and allocating health-care resources.
