A Rare Case of Pulmonary Ossification Findings That Rapidly Progressed and Improved During the Course of COVID-19 Pneumonia.

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
An 88-year-old man with a history of myocardial infarction, non-valvular atrial fibrillation and hypothyroidism was admitted to our hospital with a diagnosis of coronavirus disease. On admission, he had hypoxemia, with peripheral blood oxygen saturation at 95% on 5 L of oxygen via face mask ventilation. Chest computed tomography (CT) showed bronchial wall thickening and emphysema in both lungs, ground-glass opacities and high-attenuation areas in the bilateral lower lungs. After hospitalization and treatment, hypoxemia improved; however, chest CT showed marked progression of the high-attenuation areas, suggestive of pulmonary ossification (PO) in both lower lungs. The patient was transferred to a rehabilitation hospital; however, hypoxemia had improved at the time of discharge and chest CT showed marked improvement in the findings suggestive of PO.
