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

The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between baseline clinical and CT characteristics and to identify factors associated with intensive care unit (ICU) admission in hospitalized COVID-19 patients. This retrospective study included 176 adult patients with laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection hospitalized at the COVID Hospital of the Clinical Hospital Center Kosovska Mitrovica during 2021-2022 (Delta and Omicron variants). Patients were divided into two groups according to intensive care unit requirement: those treated in a general inpatient ward (No ICU) and those requiring ICU admission (ICU group). Demographic and clinical characteristics, lifestyle factors, CT findings, CT severity score (CTSS) values, and therapeutic interventions were compared between groups. Of the total cohort, 113 patients (64%) were hospitalized in a general inpatient ward, while 63 (36%) required intensive care unit admission. Independent predictors of ICU admission identified in the multivariate logistic regression analysis were obesity (B = 2.96,
