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

The pathology caused by the coronavirus disease 2019 is mediated by host-mediated lung inflammation, driving severity, and mortality. Polymorphisms in genes encoding host inflammation and immune-related molecules may be associated with the development of serious pathologies, and identifying such gene polymorphisms may lead to the identification of therapeutic targets.

objectivesWe attempted to identify aggravation-predicting gene polymorphisms.

designWe use a candidate gene approach associated with multiple phase pathogenesis in coronavirus disease 2019 patients among a cohort in Hiroshima, a city with a population of 1 million, in Japan. DNA samples from the study populations were genotyped for 34 functional polymorphisms from 14 distinct candidate genes, which encode proteins related to viral cell entry, regulation of viral replication, innate immune modulators, regulatory cytokines, and effector cytokines. SETTING AND

participantsThree core hospitals providing different services for patients with coronavirus disease 2019 under administrative control. A total of 230 patients with coronavirus disease 2019 were recruited from March 1, 2020, to March 31, 2021. MAIN RESULTS AND MEASUREMENTS: Among the 14 genes, we found rs1131454 in CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: We successfully identified significant genetic factors in
