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

Reports of racial and ethnic disparities regarding both rates of infection of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and morbidity of the coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) contain profound differences depending on the population. Our previous study has shown that patients with COVID-19 who developed hypertriglyceridemia during hospitalization have a 2.3 times higher mortality rate. However, whether the correlation between hypertriglyceridemia and mortality has disparity among different racial and ethnic groups is unknown. In this study, we investigated the impact of race/ethnicity on the correlation between hypertriglyceridemia and mortality in hospitalized patients with COVID-19. De-identified information from 904 hospitalized patients diagnosed with COVID-19 between March 2020 and June 2021 were extracted from the Medical College of Wisconsin Clinical Data Warehouse. A multivariable regression analysis suggested that the Asians and non-White Hispanics had 4 or 3.9 times higher mortality rate, respectively, after adjusting for age, morbid obesity (BMI ≥40), and gender. The hypertriglyceridemia (≥150 mg/dL) was associated with higher mortality, after adjusting for age, gender, and morbid obesity. The baseline hypertriglyceridemia occurrence had relevantly more consistent percentages among all racial/ethnic groups. However, non-White Hispanic and Asian patients had the highest frequencies of peak hypertriglyceridemia occurrence during hospitalization. The peak hypertriglyceridemia developed during hospitalization correlates with the incidence of thrombosis after adjusting for morbid obesity, age, and sex. In summary, in this retrospective study of 904 hospitalized COVID-19 patients, Asians and non-White Hispanics had a greater likelihood of developing hypertriglyceridemia during hospitalization and mortality than White patients.
