Peripheral Blood CD8+T Cell as a Prognostic Biomarker for Hospitalised COVID-19 Patients Without Antiviral Treatment.

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: The status of T lymphocyte subset counts in patients with COVID-19 remains uncertain. This study aimed to assess alterations in peripheral blood CD3+CD8+T (CD8+T) cells among hospitalized COVID-19 patients who have not received antiviral treatment and to evaluate their prognostic value within this patient population. Methods: A single-center, retrospective cohort study and a meta-analysis were conducted. The cohort study was performed at Xiangya Hospital from December 5, 2022, to January 31, 2023. We conducted a meta-analysis to explore the association between peripheral blood CD3+CD8+T cells and mortality in COVID-19 patients who did not receive antiviral therapy. All relevant studies in Embase, PubMed, Web of Science databases were systematically searched for meta-analysis. Results: The retrospective cohort study included 201 patients. A significant decrease in peripheral blood CD8+ T cell count was found to be associated with an increased risk of mortality (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]: 13.88; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 3.15-61.23), after adjusting for gender, age, comorbidities, severity at admission, steroid therapy, and antibiotic therapy. The threshold value for CD8+T cell counts, determined by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, was 145.5 (area under the curve [AUC]: 0.828, specificity: 90.3%, sensitivity: 72.9%, P<0.001). Additionally, A total of 7 studies with 2765 participants were included in the meta-analysis. The meta-analysis reveals a significant association between lower CD8+ T cell counts and mortality (odds ratio [OR] = 3.543, 95% CI: 1.726 to 7.272; I Conclusion: Peripheral blood CD8+ T cell can serve as a valuable prognostic biomarker for hospitalized patients who do not receive antiviral treatment.
