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

Purpose: Severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is linked to insufficient control of viral replication and excessive inflammation driven by an unbalanced immune response. Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) are specialized in the rapid production of interferons in response to viral infections, and can also prime and activate T-cells. Conventional DCs (cDCs) are critical for the elimination of viral infections owing to their specialized ability to prime and activate T cells. We assessed the frequency and phenotype of pDCs and cDCs in survivors and non-survivors of COVID-19. Patients and methods: Patients with COVID-19 were enrolled, and 22 were included in this study. Peripheral whole blood was obtained during the 2 Results: The ratio of pDCs to pre-cDCs was significantly lower ( Conclusion: A lower frequency of pDCs compared to other circulating DCs, and lower expression levels of HLA-DR, CD123 or CD11c on DCs is associated with fatal COVID-19.
