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
backgroundSome viruses such as SARS, SARS-CoV-2, and MERS cause an imbalance in immune responses and leads to an acute inflammatory reaction named cytokine storm. In this situation, an anti-inflammatory component can modulate the immune system and decrease mortality. The aim of this study was investigate the potential of leukoreduction filters (LRFs) in creating an anti-inflammatory compound. MATERIALS AND
methodsIn this experimental study, firstly optimal dose of the anti-inflammatory drug was obtained through LRFs treatment with 0.1 mg, 0.4 mg, 0.6 mg of Betamethasone. Then inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokine in gene and protein level was evaluated. In the next step, LRFs were categorized into treatment 1, treatment 2, control assay, and control groups and treated with the optimal dose of the drug. Finally, the obtained compound was investigated for the concentration of IL1, IL6, and TNF-α as inflammatory and IL4, IL1Ra, and IL10 as anti-inflammatory cytokines.
resultsThe results of the current study showed that the concentration of 0.4 mg of Betamethasone lead to a significant increase of anti-inflammatory cytokine in gene and protein levels. The results also showed that the Betamethasone treated groups (treatment1) causes a significant increase in the secretion of anti-inflammatory cytokine compares to the control while inflammatory cytokine remained at the control level.
conclusionThe results showed that under influence of anti-inflammatory drug treatments the production and secretion of anti-inflammatory cytokines can be induced in LRFs.
