Review in Journal of cellular and molecular medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

With the outbreak of a new coronavirus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the public healthcare systems are facing great challenges. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) could develop into severe pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome and multi-organ failure. Remarkably, in addition to the respiratory symptoms, some COVID-19 patients also suffer from cardiovascular injuries. Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) is a ubiquitous glycoprotein which could act both as a cell membrane-bound protein and a soluble enzymatic protein after cleavage and release into the circulation. Despite angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), the recently recognized receptor of SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2, which facilitated their entries into the host, DPP-4 has been identified as the receptor of middle east respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV). In the current review, we discussed the potential roles of DPP-4 in COVID-19 and the possible effects of DPP-4 inhibitors on cardiovascular system in patients with COVID-19.
