Trajectories of host-response biomarkers and inflammatory subphenotypes in COVID-19 patients across the spectrum of respiratory support.

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
Purpose: Enhanced understanding of the dynamic changes in the dysregulated inflammatory response in COVID-19 may help improve patient selection and timing for immunomodulatory therapies. Methods: We enrolled 323 COVID-19 inpatients on different levels of baseline respiratory support: i) Low Flow Oxygen (37%), ii) Non-Invasive Ventilation or High Flow Oxygen (NIV_HFO, 29%), iii) Invasive Mechanical Ventilation (IMV, 27%), and iv) Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO, 7%). We collected plasma samples upon enrollment and days 5 and 10 to measure host-response biomarkers. We classified subjects into inflammatory subphenotypes using two validated predictive models. We examined clinical, biomarker and subphenotype trajectories and outcomes during hospitalization. Results: IL-6, procalcitonin, and Angiopoietin-2 were persistently elevated in patients at higher levels of respiratory support, whereas sRAGE displayed the inverse pattern. Patients on NIV_HFO at baseline had the most dynamic clinical trajectory, with 26% eventually requiring intubation and exhibiting worse 60-day mortality than IMV patients at baseline (67% vs. 35%, p<0.0001). sRAGE levels predicted NIV failure and worse 60-day mortality for NIV_HFO patients, whereas IL-6 levels were predictive in IMV or ECMO patients. Hyper-inflammatory subjects at baseline (<10% by both models) had worse 60-day survival (p<0.0001) and 50% of them remained classified as hyper-inflammatory on follow-up sampling at 5 days post-enrollment. Receipt of combined immunomodulatory therapies (steroids and anti-IL6 agents) was associated with markedly increased IL-6 and lower Angiopoietin-2 levels (p<0.05). Conclusions: Longitudinal study of systemic host responses in COVID-19 revealed substantial and predictive inter-individual variability, influenced by baseline levels of respiratory support and concurrent immunomodulatory therapies.
