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

Objectives Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) reportedly causes thromboembolic complications due to coagulopathy with hypercoagulability and a hypofibrinolytic state. We evaluated the time-course of coagulopathy in patients with severe COVID-19 from admission to discharge from our intensive-care unit (ICU). Methods We conducted a retrospective study of adults with severe COVID-19 admitted to our ICU between January 20, 2021, and March 31, 2022. We obtained clinical information, laboratory data, and rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM) parameters at admission and discharge. Results Fifteen patients were included. Fibrinogen and D-dimer values did not change significantly but were above the normal ranges at admission and discharge. Regarding ROTEM parameters, the maximum clot firmness in fibrinogen function (FIBTEM), a marker of hypercoagulability, did not change significantly but was above the normal range at admission and discharge [median (interquartile range), admission vs. discharge: 31 (25-34) mm vs. 31 (27-32) mm, p=0.589]. The maximum lysis at 60 minutes in the extrinsic coagulation pathway (EXTEM) and intrinsic coagulation pathway (INTEM), as markers of the fibrinolytic function, were both significantly lower at discharge than at admission [median (interquartile range), admission vs. discharge: EXTEM, 3 (2-4) vs. 1 (0-2), p=0.011; INTEM, 3 (1-6) vs. 1 (0-2), p=0.008]. Conclusion This study revealed a persistent hypercoagulable state at ICU discharge and a worse hypofibrinolytic state at discharge than at admission. These results may contribute to a better understanding of coagulopathies in the acute to subacute phases of severe COVID-19.
