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

objectTo reveal convergent IGH signatures and the association with severity of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients.

methodA total of 25 COVID-19 inpatients were classified into three clinical conditions: mild, severe, and critical. We analyzed convergent IGH signatures by ImmuHub

resultsIGH singleton frequency in patients is significantly lower than that of healthy donors (HDs). The clonality index of IGH in patients is significantly higher than that in HDs. Nevertheless, no significant difference was observed among the three groups. The difference in IGH clonality (top five clones) between post- and pretreatment was significant in the improvement and deterioration groups. Three common public motifs were shared by all COVID-19 patients: ARDYGG, RWYFDY, and YYYYGMDV.

conclusionB cells could recognize severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and produce clonal expansion. Patients who had better outcomes after treatment had higher IGH clonality. Three common public motifs-ARDYGG, RWYFDY, and YYYYGMDV-might be used for vaccine development (ChiCTR2000029626).
