Impact of ACE and Endoplasmic Reticulum Aminopeptidases Polymorphisms on COVID-19 Outcome.

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
Background: COVID-19 outcomes display multiple unexpected varieties, ranging from unnoticed symptomless infection to death, without any previous alarm or known aggravating factors. Aim: To appraise the impact of ACErs4291(A/T) and ERAP1rs26618(T/C) human polymorphisms on the outcome of COVID-19. Subjects and methods: In total, 240 individuals were enrolled in the study (80 with severe manifestations, 80 with mild manifestations, and 80 healthy persons). ACErs4291(A/T) and ERAP1rs26618(T/C) genotyping was performed using RT-PCR. Results: The frequency of the ACErs4291AA genotype was higher among the severe COVID-19 group than others (p < 0.001). The ERAP1rs26618TT genotype frequency was higher among the severe COVID-19 group in comparison with the mild group (p < 0.001) and non-infected controls (p = 0.0006). The frequency of the ACErs4291A allele was higher among severe COVID-19 than mild and non-infected groups (64.4% vs. 37.5%, and 34.4%, respectively), and the ERAP1rs26618T allele was also higher in the severe group (67.5% vs. 39.4%, and 49.4%). There was a statistically significant association between severe COVID-19 and ACErs4291A or ERAP1rs26618T alleles. The coexistence of ACErs4291A and ERAP1rs26618T alleles in the same individual increase the severity of the COVID-19 risk by seven times [OR (95%CI) (LL−UL) = 7.058 (3.752−13.277), p < 0.001). A logistic regression analysis revealed that age, male gender, non-vaccination, ACErs4291A, and ERAP1rs26618T alleles are independent risk factors for severe COVID-19. Conclusions: Persons carrying ACErs4291A and/or ERAP1rs26618T alleles are at higher risk of developing severe COVID-19.
