Th1 cytokine endotype discriminates and predicts severe complications in COVID-19
Article in European cytokine network, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Treatment of severe and critical cases of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is still a top priority in public health. Previously, we reported distinct Th1 cytokines related to the pathophysiology of severe COVID-19 condition. In the present study, we investigated the association of Th1 and Th2 cytokine/chemokine endotypes with cell-mediated immunity via multiplex immunophenotyping, single-cell RNA-Seq analysis of peripheral blood mononuclear cells, and analysis of the clinical features of COVID-19 patients. Based on serum cytokine and systemic inflammatory markers, COVID-19 cases were classified into four clusters of increasing (I-IV) severity. Two prominent clusters were of interest and could be used as prognostic reference for a targeted treatment of severe COVID-19 cases. Cluster III reflected severe/critical pathology and was characterized by decreased in CCL17 levels and increase in IL-6, C-reactive protein CXCL9, IL-18, and IL-10 levels. The second cluster (Cluster II) showed mild to moderate pathology and was characterized by predominated CXCL9 and IL-18 levels, levels of IL-6 and CRP were relatively low. Cluster II patients received anti-inflammatory treatment in early-stage, which may have led prevent disease prognosis which is accompanied to IL-6 and CRP induction. In Cluster III, a decrease in the proportion of effector T cells with signs of T cell exhaustion was observed. This study highlights the mechanisms of endotype clustering based on specific inflammatory markers in related the clinical outcome of COVID-19.
