The Role of Biochemical and Respiratory Markers in the Mortality of Patients With SARS-CoV-2 Infection in a Mexican Population.

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
backgroundThe SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has challenged the traditional perspectives of health care. The objective of our study was to analyze the association of different hematological biomarkers and respiratory assistance with the disease's severity and mortality in COVID-19. MATERIALS AND
methodsA single reference center, cross-sectional, retrospective, descriptive and analytical, observational study was carried out on 362 SARS-CoV-2 positive adults from April to October 2020.
resultsThe mean age of the population was 55.92±13.12 years. A distribution by gender of n=227 (63.0%) men and n=135 women (37.0%) was found. Mortality occurred in 14% of the studied population. Comorbidities associated were hypertension n=128 (35.0%) and diabetes n=112 (31.0%). Of the 362 patients, 64 required advanced ventilatory support when taken to the intensive care unit, of these 39 (60.9%) died and only 25 (39.1%) survived (p<0.0001). On the other hand, biochemical indicators such as CRP, D-dimer, DHL, lymphocytes, leukocytes, neutrophils, and the neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio, showed a significant difference (p<0.0001) at admission and during the stay in the intensive care unit.
conclusionsPatients who required ventilatory assistance showed an increased risk of mortality, as did those who were admitted to the intensive care unit. Higher mortality was associated with higher values of CRP, DHL, D-dimer, neutrophil/lymphocytes ratio, total leukocytes, and lower lymphocytes.
