Integrated Transcriptomics and Network Analysis of Potential Mechanisms and Health Effects of Convalescent COVID-19 Patients.
Article in Bioinformatics and biology insights, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Coronaviral disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a recent pandemic disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Currently, there are still cases of COVID-19 around the world that can develop into persistent symptoms after discharge. The constellation of symptoms, termed long COVID, persists for months and can lead to various diseases such as lung inflammation and cardiovascular disease, which may lead to considerable financial burden and possible risk to human health. Moreover, the molecular mechanisms underlying the post-pandemic syndrome of COVID-19 remain unclear. In this study, we aimed to explore the molecular mechanism, disease association, and possible health risks in convalescent COVID-19 patients. Gene expression data from a human convalescent COVID-19 data set was compared with a data set from healthy normal individuals in order to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs). To determine biological function and potential pathway alterations, the GO and KEGG databases were used to analyze the DEGs. Disease association, tissue, and organ-specific analyses were used to identify possible health effects. A total of 250 DEGs were identified between healthy and convalescent COVID-19 subjects. The biological function alterations identified revealed cytokine interactions and increased inflammation through NF-κB1, RELA, JUN, STAT3, and SP1. Interestingly, the most significant pathways were cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, altered lipid metabolism, and atherosclerosis that play a crucial role in convalescent COVID-19. In addition, we also found pneumonitis, dermatitis, and autoimmune diseases. Based on our study, convalescent COVID-19 is associated with inflammation in a variety of organs that could lead to autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, as well as atherosclerosis. These findings are a first step toward fully exploring the disease mechanisms in depth to understand the relationship between post-COVID-19 infection and potential health risks. This is necessary for the development of appropriate strategies for the prevention and treatment of long COVID.
