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

Cytokine storm and inflammatory cytokine release syndrome are often found to be associated with severe instances of the 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19). However, factors that contribute to the development of the COVID-19-associated cytokine storm and intensify the hyperinflammatory response are not well known. Here, we integratively analyzed scRNAseq data of 37,607 immune cells of eight different cell types from four studies involving COVID-19 patients in either moderate or severe conditions. Our analysis showed that pyroptosis-a lytic, inflammatory type of programmed cell death-may play a critical role in the SARS-CoV-2-induced cytokine storm. The expression of the key markers of pyroptosis, such as pro-inflammatory cytokine genes
