SARS-CoV-2-Induced TSLP Is Associated with Duration of Hospital Stay in COVID-19 Patients.
Article in Viruses, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) is an epithelium-derived pro-inflammatory cytokine involved in lung inflammatory responses. Previous studies show conflicting observations in blood TSLP in COVID-19, while none report SARS-CoV-2 inducing TSLP expression in bronchial epithelial cells. Our objective in this study was to determine whether TSLP levels increase in COVID-19 patients and if SARS-CoV-2 induces TSLP expression in bronchial epithelial cells. Plasma cytokine levels were measured in patients hospitalized with confirmed COVID-19 and age- and sex-matched healthy controls. Demographic and clinical information from COVID-19 patients was collected. We determined associations between plasma TSLP and clinical parameters using Poisson regression. Cultured human nasal (HNEpC) and bronchial epithelial cells (NHBEs), Caco-2 cells, and patient-derived bronchial epithelial cells (HBECs) obtained from elective bronchoscopy were infected in vitro with SARS-CoV-2, and secretion as well as intracellular expression of TSLP was detected by immunofluorescence. Increased TSLP levels were detected in the plasma of hospitalized COVID-19 patients (603.4 ± 75.4 vs 997.6 ± 241.4 fg/mL, mean ± SEM), the levels of which correlated with duration of stay in hospital (β: 0.11; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.01-0.21). In cultured NHBE and HBECs but not HNEpCs or Caco-2 cells, TSLP levels were significantly elevated after 24 h post-infection with SARS-CoV-2 (
