Host-Microbe Multiomic Profiling Reveals Age-Dependent COVID-19 Immunopathology.
Article in medRxiv : the preprint server for health sciences, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Age is a major risk factor for severe coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19), yet the mechanisms responsible for this relationship have remained incompletely understood. To address this, we evaluated the impact of aging on host and viral dynamics in a prospective, multicenter cohort of 1,031 patients hospitalized for COVID-19, ranging from 18 to 96 years of age. We performed blood transcriptomics and nasal metatranscriptomics, and measured peripheral blood immune cell populations, inflammatory protein expression, anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies, and anti-interferon (IFN) autoantibodies. We found that older age correlated with an increased SARS-CoV-2 viral load at the time of admission, and with delayed viral clearance over 28 days. This contributed to an age-dependent increase in type I IFN gene expression in both the respiratory tract and blood. We also observed age-dependent transcriptional increases in peripheral blood IFN-γ, neutrophil degranulation, and Toll like receptor (TLR) signaling pathways, and decreases in T cell receptor (TCR) and B cell receptor signaling pathways. Over time, older adults exhibited a remarkably sustained induction of proinflammatory genes (e.g.,
