Lipid Mediators and Cytokines/Chemokines Display Differential Profiles in Severe versus Mild/Moderate COVID-19 Patients.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Host immune responses play a key role in COVID-19 pathogenesis. The underlying phenomena are orchestrated by signaling molecules such as cytokines/chemokines and lipid mediators. These immune molecules, including anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies, interact with immune cells and regulate host responses, contributing to inflammation that drives the disease. We investigated 48 plasma cytokines/chemokines, 21 lipid mediators, and anti-S protein (RBD) antibodies in COVID-19 patients (n = 56) and non-COVID-19 respiratory disease controls (n = 49), to identify immune-biomarker profiles. Cytokines/chemokines (IL-6, CXCL-10 (IP-10), HGF, MIG, MCP-1, and G-CSF) and lipid mediators (TxB2, 11-HETE, 9-HODE, 13-HODE, 5-HETE, 12-HETE, 15-HETE, 14S-HDHA, 17S-HDHA, and 5-oxo ETE) were significantly elevated in COVID-19 patients compared to controls. In patients exhibiting severe disease, pro-inflammatory cytokines/chemokines (IL-6, CXCL-10, and HGF) and anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies were significantly elevated. In contrast, lipid mediators involved in the reduction/resolution of inflammation, in particular, 5-HETE, 11-HETE, and 5-oxoETE, were significantly elevated in mild/moderate disease. Taken together, these immune-biomarker profiles provide insight into immune responses related to COVID-19 pathogenesis. Importantly, our findings suggest that elevation in plasma concentrations of IL-6, CXCL-10, HGF, and anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies can predict severe disease, whereas elevation in lipid mediators peaks early (compared to cytokines) and includes induction of mechanisms leading to reduction of inflammation, associated complications, and maintenance of homeostasis.
