Correlation of Lung Damage on CT Scan with Laboratory Inflammatory Markers in COVID-19 Patients: A Single-Center Study from Romania.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
(1) Background: This study aims to evaluate the association of CRP, NLR, IL-6, and Procalcitonin with lung damage observed on CT scans; (2) Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed among 106 COVID-19 patients hospitalized in Timisoara Municipal Emergency Hospital. Chest CT and laboratory analysis were performed in all patients. The rank Spearmen correlation was used to assess the association between inflammatory markers and lung involvement. In addition, ROC curve analysis was used to determine the accuracy of inflammatory markers in the diagnosis of severe lung damage; (3) Results: CRP, NLR, and IL-6 were significantly positively correlated with lung damage. All inflammatory markers had good accuracy for diagnosis of severe lung involvement. Moreover, IL-6 has the highest AUC- ROC curve; (4) Conclusions: The inflammatory markers are associated with lung damage and can be used to evaluate COVID-19 severity.
