Reduction in the number of neutrophils in the broncho-alveolar aspirate is associated with worse prognosis in elderly patients with severe COVID-19.
Article in Inflammation research : official journal of the European Histamine Research Society ... [et al.], 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The blood levels of neutrophils are associated with the severity of COVID -19. However, their role in the pulmonary environment during COVID -19 severity is not clear. Here, we found a decrease in the neutrophil count in BAL (bronchoalveolar lavage) in non-survivors and in older patients (> 60 years). In addition, we have shown that older patients have higher serum concentration of CXCL8 and increased IL-10 expression by neutrophils.
