Plasma proteome dynamics of COVID-19 severity learnt by a graph convolutional network of multi-scale topology.
Article in Life science alliance, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Efforts to understand the molecular mechanisms of COVID-19 have led to the identification of ACE2 as the main receptor for the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein on cell surfaces. However, there are still important questions about the role of other proteins in disease progression. To address these questions, we modelled the plasma proteome of 384 COVID-19 patients using protein level measurements taken at three different times and incorporating comprehensive clinical evaluation data collected 28 d after hospitalisation. Our analysis can accurately assess the severity of the illness using a metric based on WHO scores. By using topological vectorisation, we identified proteins that vary most in expression based on disease severity, and then utilised these findings to construct a graph convolutional network. This dynamic model allows us to learn the molecular interactions between these proteins, providing a tool to determine the severity of a COVID-19 infection at an early stage and identify potential pharmacological treatments by studying the dynamic interactions between the most relevant proteins.
