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

objectiveThe innate immune response in humans involves a wide variety of factors, including the tripartite motif-containing 5α (TRIM5α) and 22 (TRIM22) as a cluster of genes on chromosome 11 that have exhibited antiviral activity in several viral infections. We analyzed the correlation of the expression of TRIM5α and TRIM22 with the severity of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) in blood samples of 330 patients, divided into two groups of severe and mild disease, versus the healthy individuals who never had contact with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).

methodsThe transcription level of TRIM5α and TRIM22 was determined by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). The laboratory values were collected from the patients' records.

resultsThe expression of both genes was significantly lower in the severe group containing the hospitalized patients than in both the mild group and the control group. However, in the mild group, TRIM22 expression was significantly higher (p <0.0001) than in the control group while TRIM5α expression was not significantly different between these two groups. We found a relationship between the cycle threshold (Ct) value of patients and the expression of the aforementioned genes.

conclusionThe results of our study indicated that lower Ct values or higher RNA viral load might be associated with the downregulation of TRIM5α and TRIM22 and the severity of COVID-19. Additional studies are needed to confirm the results of this study.
