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

introductionSARS-CoV-2 has infected over 753 million individuals and caused more than 6.8 million deaths globally to date. COVID-19 disease severity has been associated with SARS-CoV-2 induced hyper inflammation and the immune correlation with its pathogenesis remains unclear. Acute viral infection is characterised by vigorous coordinated innate and adaptive activation, including an early cellular response that correlates well with the amplitude of virus specific humoral response.

objectiveThe present study covers a wide spectrum of cellular immune response against COVID-19, irrespective of infection and vaccination.

methodsWe analysed immune status of (a) COVID-19 hospitalised patients including deceased and recovered patients, and compared with home isolated and non-infected healthy individuals, and (b) infected home isolated individuals with vaccinated individuals, using flow cytometry. We performed flow cytometry analysis of PBMCs to determine non-specific cell-mediated immune response.

resultsThe immune response revealed extensive induction and activation of multiple immune lineages, including T and B cells, Th17 regulatory subsets and M

conclusionThe findings associated with recovery and convalescence define a new signature of cellular immune response that persists in individuals with SARS-CoV-2 infection and vaccination. The findings will help in providing a better understanding of COVID-19 disease and will aid in developing better therapeutic strategies for treatment.
