Severe COVID-19 May Impact Hepatic Fibrosis /Hepatic Stellate Cells Activation as Indicated by a Pathway and Population Genetic Study.
Article in Genes, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) has affected over 112 million people and killed more than 2.5 million worldwide. When the pandemic was declared, Spain and Italy accounted for 29% of the total COVID-19 related deaths in Europe, while most infected patients did not present severe illness. We hypothesised that shared genomic characteristics, distinct from the rest of Europe, could be a contributor factor to a poor prognosis in these two populations. To identify pathways related to COVID-19 severity, we shortlisted 437 candidate genes associated with host viral intake and immune evasion from SARS-like viruses. From these, 21 were associated specifically with clinically aggressive COVID-19. To determine the potential mechanism of viral infections, we performed signalling pathway analysis with either the full list (n = 437) or the subset group (n = 21) of genes. Four pathways were significantly associated with the full gene list (
