Association of eosinopenia with worsening prognosis in hospitalized Azvudine-treated COVID-19 patients: a retrospective cohort study.
Article in Frontiers in immunology, 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
Background: Current guidelines prioritize the use of Azvudine in Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients, while biomarkers for prognosis in Azvudine-treated COVID-19 patients are still lacking. Here, we aim to assess the prognostic value of eosinopenia in Azvudine-treated COVID-19 patients. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 290 consecutive Azvudine-treated hospitalized COVID-19 patients. Clinical characteristics and prognosis data were analyzed between patients with eosinopenia and with normal eosinophil levels. Results: A total of 290 patients were enrolled in this study, with a median age of 69 years. Among them, 40.69% presented with eosinopenia and 59.31% had normal eosinophil levels. Common symptoms included cough (87.6%), expectoration (76.2%), fever (67.9%), poor appetite (47.2%), and polypnea (46.6%). Compared to patients with normal eosinophil levels, those with eosinopenia were older and less likely to experience fatigue (25.4% vs. 39.0%, P=0.016). Significant differences in laboratory parameters, particularly in blood routine and blood biochemical indicators, were observed between the two groups. Patients with eosinopenia were also less likely to develop severe illness subtypes, requiring more medication and oxygen support. The Cox proportional hazard model showed that eosinopenia was associated with worsening progression in Azvudine-treated COVID-19 patients (adjusted hazard ratio=2.79, 95% confidence interval: 1.04, 7.50), adjusting for potential confounders. Conclusion: Eosinopenia is associated with worsening prognosis in Azvudine-treated COVID-19 patients.
