Exploring the Relationship Between Comorbidities and Prolonged Viral Shedding in COVID-19: A Cycle Threshold Value-Based Investigation.

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
Purpose: We aim to investigate which of the comorbidities is associated with prolonged viral RNA shedding among hospitalized patients with COVID-19 illness. Patients and Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of COVID-19 patients in Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, Bandung, from March 2020 to April 2022. Data of ORF1b Ct value measurements were collected from the 1 Results: We included a total of 279 patients with a median age of 55-year-old, and male patients were the majority included. However, 68% of the original cohort was excluded due to having only a single Ct result. Based on the ORF1b Ct value data, most patients within each comorbidity group demonstrated increasing Ct values from Week 1 ( Conclusion: This study shows that COVID-19 patients with HIV-AIDS have prolonged viral shedding compared to patients with other comorbidities.
