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 COVID-19 pandemic has posed a major global health challenge, with emerging evidence showing worse outcomes among patients with pre- existing comorbidities. Therefore, it is of interest to examine the association between comorbidity status and disease severity among 384 laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 patients admitted to a government medical college in Central India. Patients were divided into comorbid(n=192) and non-comorbid (n=192) groups, with hypertension (69.27%), diabetes mellitus (36.98%) and cardiac disease (13.54%) being most prevalent. Fever (67.45%), cough (55.47%) and shortness of breath (36.20%) were predominant symptoms, while severe illness occurred in 29.69% of comorbid versus 11.46% of non-comorbid patients (x
