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

Monocytes play a role in viral biology, but little is known about the monocyte subpopulation in the course of COVID-19 disease. The aim of the study was the analysis of classical, intermediate and non-classical monocytes with expression of PD-L1 and CD62L, TIM-3 and CD86 molecules in peripheral blood (PB) to distinguish patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection from convalescent patients. The study group consisted of 55 patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection and 51 convalescent patients. The cells were analyzed by flow cytometry. The number and proportion of monocytes were lower in patients with COVID-19 than convalescent patients. We observed a lower proportion of non-classical monocytes in COVID-19 patients than convalescent ones. There was a higher proportion of PDL-1-positive intermediate monocytes in COVID-19 patients than convalescent ones. We noticed a higher geometric mean fluorescence intensity (GeoMean) of PD-L1 on intermediate monocytes in COVID-19 patients than convalescent patients, and a higher proportion of CD62L-positive monocytes in COVID-19 patients in comparison with convalescent ones. We found a higher GeoMean of CD62L on monocytes in COVID-19 patients than convalescent ones. Assessment of PD-L1- and CD62L-positive monocyte subsets may identify patients with a possible predisposition for rapid recovery. The monitoring of monocyte subsets in PB might be a useful test in COVID-19 patients.
