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

Introduction: The emergence of SARS-CoV-2, which causes COVID-19, has led to over 400 million reported cases worldwide. COVID-19 disease ranges from asymptomatic infection to severe disease and may be impacted by individual immune differences. Methods: We used multiparameter flow cytometry to compare CD4+ and CD8+ T cell responses in severe (ICU admitted) and non-severe (admitted to observational unit) hospitalized COVID-19 patients. Results: We found that patients with severe COVID- 19 had greater frequencies of CD4+ T cells expressing CD62L compared to non-severe patients and greater frequencies of perforin+ CD8+ T cells compared to recovered patients. Furthermore, greater frequencies of CD62L+ CD4+ and CD8+ T cells were seen in severely ill diabetic patients compared to non-severe and non-diabetic patients, and increased CD62L+ CD4+ T cells were also seen in severely ill patients with hypertension. Discussion: This is the first report to show that CD62L+ T cells and perforin+ T cells are associated with severe COVID-19 illness and are significantly increased in patients with high-risk pre-existing conditions including older age and diabetes. These data provide a potential biological marker for severe COVID-19.
