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

objectiveStudies have reported associations between coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) mortality and socioeconomic status (SES) and air pollution, but few have investigated the association with housing density. This ecological study aims to demonstrate the relationship between the COVID-19 mortality rate and these variables in the districts of Ankara. MATERIAL AND

methodsCOVID-19 mortality rate calculations were based on data from the Ankara Metropolitan Municipality Cemetery Directorate. Air pollution data for the five years preceding the COVID-19 pandemic were obtained from the North Anatolia Clean Air Regional Directorate. The SES values for each district were divided into five categories. Housing density was calculated by dividing the number of households by the area of the district in square kilometers.

resultsLevels of NO

conclusionThese variables interact closely and are correlated with COVID-19 mortality across districts of Ankara.
