MECHANICAL VENTILATION NEED AND GLYCEMIC STATUS IN PATIENTS WITH COVID -19: A FOLLOW-UP STUDY.

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
Context: Diabetes mellitus is a well known risk factor for COVID-19 patients. However, There is limited data to investigate the association between prediabetes and COVID-19. Objective: We aimed to evaluate the effect of prediabetes and mechanical ventilation on the course of COVID-19 and determine whether patients who recover from COVID-19 infection show changes in cardiac function and laboratory findings during follow-up. Patients and Methods: This study included 87 adult patients who were diagnosed with COVID-19 according to the WHO definition and were admitted for inpatient treatment between April 2021 and August 2021. They were classified into 3 groups, normoglycemia (n=40), prediabetes (n=25), and diabetes (n=22), and then divided into groups according to need for mechanical ventilation. Statistical analyses were performed to compare laboratory, echocardiographic findings and COVID-19 outcomes among the groups. Results: The need of mechanical ventilation was significantly higher in both diabetes and prediabetes groups than the normoglycemic group. Patients with diabetes and prediabetes had significantly higher LV E/Em (p=0.003, p=0.045) and RV MPI (p=0.032, p=0.021) and significantly shorter PAT (p=0.001, p=0.036) and significantly longer RV IVRT (p=0.021, p=0.017), respectively, compared to the normoglycemia group. Patients who required mechanical ventilation had significantly higher CRP (p=0.043), troponin (p<0.001), ferritin (p<0.001), HBA1C (P<0.001), glucose (p=0.019), monocytes (p<0.001), and monocytes-HDL ratio (MHR) (p<0.001) and significantly lower levels of HDL-C (p<0.001). Glucose, HDL-C, troponin, MPV, NLR, PLR level and RV and E/Em were found independently associated with the RVMPI. Conclusion: Prediabetes was associated with more impaired LV and RV diastolic functions compared to normoglycemic patients, comparable to those seen in diabetes. Our observations suggest that prediabetes should be considered as diabetes in the risk stratification of patients with COVID-19.
