A multicenter COVID-19 database from four waves in the south metropolitan area of Barcelona, Catalonia.
Article in Scientific data, 2026. 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
The COVID-19 pandemic has been characterized by a series of epidemiological waves, each defined by distinct viral variants and shifting transmission dynamics. Examining these waves is essential for understanding temporal changes in case incidence, hospitalization rates, mortality patterns, and healthcare system capacity. In this work, we present a database from a multicenter COVID-19 study including data of 5813 patients from four waves of the pandemic in the south metropolitan area of Barcelona. The database contains information collected at hospital admission and during patient follow-up while in hospital. Data were prospectively recorded from the patients' medical records. The database includes information on demographic characteristics, comorbidities, and clinical signs and symptoms at admission, as well as detailed data on clinical management and treatments administered during hospitalisation across four pandemic waves. The database has been made publicly available to support reproducible research and to enable its reuse in secondary analyses and predictive model validation, and for use as a teaching resource.
