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

aimTo determine the importance of urinary biochemical parameters on the severity of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19).

methodsOne hundred and thirty-three patients who were diagnosed with COVID-19 were retrospectively included. Groups were formed according to the severity of their disease (moderate [n = 85], severe [n = 29] and critical = [n = 19]), and an additional control group was created from healthy individuals (n = 50). We investigated the correlation between urine biochemical parameters and the severity of the disease.

resultsErythrocyturia, proteinuria and glucosuria rates were significantly higher in patients than in the controls. In patients, the median urine specific gravity (SG) was lower (P < .001), and the median potential of hydrogen (pH) value was higher compared with the controls (P < .001). In correlation analyses, there were strong positive correlations between disease severity and age (r = 0.545, P < .001), RR (r = 0.838, P < .001) and proteinuria (r = 0.462, P < .001), while there was a strong negative correlation with SpO

conclusionProteinuria in routine urine analysis, which is one of the parameters that can be easily applied in the application, may be related to the severity of the COVID-19 disease.
