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

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a pandemic viral pneumonia caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2). Most of the severe COVID-19 patients come up with trouble breathing, persistent pressure in the chest and developing to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) with a high mortality rate. Infected lung brings about uncontrolled inflammation followed by the fluid leakage and accumulation of extracellular matrix. Hyaluronan (HA) is an essential component of the extracellular matrix (ECM) and plays crucial roles in both biological and pathological states. It is also primarily located within the respiratory airways and is uprising during COVID-19 infection. Hitherto, the association between COVID-19 pathophysiology and HA is still unclear. Herein, we provide an overview of the pathophysiology of SARS-CoV-2 infection in conjunction with the involvement of HA and the diminution of HA for therapeutic potential of COVID-19. For severe patients, HA depletion may be beneficial for preventing ARDS while monitoring and managing HA level in lung may improve survival rate of patients.
