Efficacy Analysis and Prognostic Impact of Sivelestat Sodium in Coronavirus Disease 2019-Related Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome.

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
purposeThis study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of sivelestat sodium on mortality, oxygenation index, and serum markers in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) associated with Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19).
methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on adult inpatients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). The study compared clinical characteristics, laboratory indices, and mortality rates between patients treated with and without sivelestat sodium. Cox regression analysis was employed to assess the effect of sivelestat sodium on the risk of death, oxygenation index, and improvement of serum markers in patients with COVID-19-associated ARDS.
resultsA total of 110 patients with COVID-19-associated ARDS were included, with 45 patients in the sivelestat group and 65 patients in the control group. The overall patient mortality rate was 69.1%, with 62.2% in the sivelestat group and 73.8% in the control group. After five days of treatment, the median change from baseline in the oxygenation index was 21 mmHg in the medicated group and -31 mmHg in the control group (
conclusionsSivelestat sodium demonstrated a significant improvement in the oxygenation index of patients with COVID-19-associated ARDS and was found to considerably reduce the risk of death in patients with a baseline oxygenation index of <200 mmHg.
