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

backgroundAt the dawn of the pandemic, severe forms of COVID-19 were often complicated by thromboembolisms. However, routine laboratory tests cannot be used to predict thromboembolic events. The objective of this study was to investigate the potential value of the thrombin generation test (TGT) in predicting hypercoagulability and thrombotic risk in the aforementioned set of patients.

methodsThe study panel comprised 52 patients divided into two groups (26 COVID-19 positive and 26 COVID-19 negative); COVID-19-positive patients were further grouped in "severe" (

resultsAll 26 COVID-19-positive patients showed decreased lymphocyte, monocyte and basophil counts and increased lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and alanine transaminase (ALT) compared with control patients. Conversely, we did not observe statistically significant differences between severe and non-severe patients despite anecdotal variations in the distribution patterns. TGT without thrombomodulin (TM) addition showed statistically significant differences in the thrombin peak heights between COVID-19-positive and negative patients. After addition of TM, peak height, Endogenous Thrombin Potential (ETP) and velocity index were increased in all COVID-19-positive patients while the percentage of inhibition of ETP was reduced. These trends correlated with the severity of disease, showing a greater increase in peak height, ETP, velocity index and a drastic reduction in the percentage of ETP inhibition in more severely affected patients.

conclusionsOur data suggest that all COVID-19 patients harbor a hypercoagulable TGT profile and that this is further pronounced in severely affected patients.
