Prehospital physiological parameters related illness severity scores can accurately discriminate the severe/critical state in adult patients with COVID-19.

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
backgroundWhether the National Early Warning Score 2 (NEWS2) can effectively discriminate the severe/critical state of patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) at the prehospital stage remains unknown. We aimed to assess the performance of NEWS2 in rapidly discriminating severe/critical COVID-19 and its relationship with prehospital medical services.
methodsSix illness severity scores of 414 patients were calculated at the prehospital stage. Receiver operating characteristic curves were generated to explore the ability of these scores to discriminate severe/critical patients from mild/moderate patients. A logistic regression analysis was conducted to evaluate independent predictors associated with severe/critical state.
resultsThe age, numbers of comorbidities, prehospital care workload, consumption of medical human resources, and illness severity scores of severe/critical patients were higher than those of mild/moderate patients (
conclusionsPrehospital NEWS2 can accurately and rapidly discriminate severe/critical COVID-19 during the Omicron variant wave. High levels of NEWS2 indicate an increase in prehospital care workload and consumption of medical human resources.
