Hematological findings in adult patients with SARS CoV-2 infection at Tygerberg Hospital Cape Town South Africa.
Article in Health science reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is associated with hematological abnormalities of variable severity. The full blood count (FBC) and leukocyte differential count (DIFF) could facilitate the prediction of disease severity and outcome in COVID-19. This study aimed to assess the hematological parameters in early severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and their correlation with disease outcome. Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional descriptive study was performed. Adults with a FBC and positive SARS-CoV-2 polymerase chain reaction results between March 1, and June 31, 2020 were reviewed. Basic hematological parameters (FBC, DIFF) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) status were recorded. Outcome measures were admission to a general ward or intensive care unit (ICU), recovery or death. Results: Six hundred and eighty-five cases median age 51 years, were analyzed. Forty-four percent were males and fourteen percent were HIV-positive with no association between death and/or ICU admission ( Conclusion: Evidence-based interpretation of routine laboratory parameters, readily available in resource-constrained settings, may identify patients at increased risk of mortality. The FBC, DIFF, NLR, and MLR should form part of the early COVID-19 investigation.
