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

Severe COVID-19 patients frequently present thrombotic complications which commonly lead to multiorgan failure and increase the risk of death. Severe SARS-CoV-2 infection induces the cytokine storm and is often associated with coagulation dysfunction. D-dimer, a hallmark of venous thromboembolism (VTE), is observed at a higher level in the majority of hospitalized COVID-19 patients. The precise molecular mechanism of the disproportionate effect of SARS-CoV-2 infection on the coagulation system is largely undefined. SARS-CoV-2 -induced endotheliopathy and, induction of cytokines and growth factors (GFs) most likely play important roles in platelet activation, coagulopathy, and VTE. Generally, viral infections lead to systemic inflammation and induction of numerous cytokines and GFs and many of them are reported to be associated with increased VTE. Most importantly, platelets play key thromboinflammatory roles linking coagulation to immune mediators in a variety of infections including response to viral infection. Since the pathomechanism of coagulopathy and VTE in COVID-19 is largely undefined, herein we highlight the association of dysregulated inflammatory cytokines and GFs with thrombotic complications and coagulopathy in COVID-19.
