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

We sought to determine the prevalence of antiphospholipid antibodies (aPLs) and their correlation with COVID-19 severity (in terms of clinical and laboratory parameters) in patients without thrombotic events during the early phase of infection. This was a cross-sectional study with the inclusion of hospitalized COVID-19 patients from a single department during the COVID-19 pandemic (April 2020-May 2021). Previous known immune disease or thrombophilia along with long-term anticoagulation and patients with overt arterial or venous thrombosis during SARS-CoV-2 infection were excluded. In all cases, data on four criteria for aPL were collected, namely lupus anticoagulant (LA), IgM and IgG anticardiolipin antibodies (aCL), as well as IgG anti-β2 glycoprotein I antibodies (aβ2GPI). One hundred and seventy-nine COVID-19 patients were included, with a mean age of 59.6 (14.5) years and a sex ratio of 0.8 male: female. LA was positive in 41.9%, while it was strongly positive in 4.5%; aCL IgM was found in 9.5%, aCL IgG in 4.5%, and aβ2GPI IgG in 1.7% of the sera tested. Clinical correlation: LA was more frequently expressed in severe COVID-19 cases than in moderate or mild cases (
