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

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus that causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), has led to an unprecedented public health emergency worldwide. While common cold symptoms are observed in mild cases, COVID-19 is accompanied by multiorgan failure in severe patients. Organ damage in COVID-19 patients is partially associated with the indirect effects of SARS-CoV-2 infection (e.g., systemic inflammation, hypoxic-ischemic damage, coagulopathy), but early processes in COVID-19 patients that trigger a chain of indirect effects are connected with the direct infection of cells by the virus. To understand the virus transmission routes and the reasons for the wide-spectrum of complications and severe outcomes of COVID-19, it is important to identify the cells targeted by SARS-CoV-2. This review summarizes the major steps of investigation and the most recent findings regarding SARS-CoV-2 cellular tropism and the possible connection between the early stages of infection and multiorgan failure in COVID-19. The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic is the first epidemic in which data extracted from single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) gene expression data sets have been widely used to predict cellular tropism. The analysis presented here indicates that the SARS-CoV-2 cellular tropism predictions are accurate enough for estimating the potential susceptibility of different cells to SARS-CoV-2 infection; however, it appears that not all susceptible cells may be infected in patients with COVID-19.
