Comparison of Hematological Parameters Between Survivors and Non-Survivors COVID-19 Patients in Saudi Arabia.

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
Objective: Coronavirus disease 2019, caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), is a communicable disease transmitted through the respiratory route and bodily contact. The severity of infection and mortality rate of COVID-19 cases was significantly high in the initial stages of the pandemic. This study aims to investigate the hematological profile of COVID-19 survivors and non-survivors. Methods: This is a single-center retrospective study. A total of 108 hospitalized patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 at East Jeddah Hospital between April and August 2020 were categorized into two groups based on outcome as survivors (n = 54) and non-survivors (n = 54). Hematological parameters and clinical profiles were analyzed and compared between the two groups. Results: The mean age and standard deviation of the survived (30-71 years) and non-survived (33-83) groups was 53 ± 10.8 and 57.9 ± 12.2 years, respectively, with no statistically significant difference in age between groups (p = 0.0513). Non-survivors had a significantly longer median length of stay in the intensive care unit (ICU) (7 days, IQR: 4.24 to 12) compared to survivors COVID-19 patients (5 days, IQR: 0 to 11.75) (p = 0.0151). For the survivors group, the participant's age positively correlated with the length of hospital stay (r(52) = 0.21, p = 0.0005) and ICU length of stay r(52) = 0.18, p = 0.001). The median red blood cells (RBC) counts were significantly higher in the survived group (4.56x10 Conclusion: Hematological parameters can serve as valuable indicators to identify patients with severe COVID-19 and expected poor-prognosis/outcomes upon hospital admission. Cell counts of lymphocytes, WBCs, basophils and parameters such as PT and PTT can serve as clinical indicators to assess disease severity and predict progression to critical illness.
