Association between Early Absolute Neutrophil Count and Level of D-Dimer among Patients with COVID-19 Infection in Central Taiwan.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Thromboembolism is a critical event in patients with coronavirus disease (COVID)-19 infection and highly associated with neutrophil extracellular traps. D-dimer has been found to be an essential thromboembolism-associated biomarker; however, the association between absolute neutrophil count (ANC) and level of D-dimer in patients with COVID-19 infection remains unclear. In this study, we enrolled consecutive patients with COVID-19 admitted to Taichung Veterans General Hospital (TCVGH), a referral center in central Taiwan with 20 airborne infection isolation rooms. Spearman correlation was used to determine the association between ANC and level of D-dimer in distinct time periods. A total of 28 consecutive patients with COVID-19 infection were enrolled, and 32.1% (9/28) of them required mechanical ventilation. Patients requiring mechanical ventilation had a higher ANC (8225 vs. 3427/µL,
