1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectivesThe dysregulated immune response is one of the cardinal features of severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). This study was conducted to clarify the occurrence of autoantibodies (AABs) associated with systemic autoimmune rheumatic diseases (SARDs) in hospitalized patients with a moderate, severe, and critical form of COVID-19.

methodsThe serum samples obtained from 176 hospitalized COVID-19 patients were investigated in this study, including patients with moderate (N = 90), severe (N = 50), and critical (N = 36) forms of COVID-19. Also, the serum samples collected from healthy subjects before the COVID-19 pandemic were used as controls (N = 176). The antinuclear antibodies (ANAs), antidouble-stranded DNA (anti-dsDNA), cytoplasmic-anti neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (c-ANCA), perinuclear ANCA (p-ANCA), antiphospholipid antibodies (aPLs), and anticyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP) occurrence was evaluated using a solid-phase enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

resultsThe results showed that the occurrence of ANAs, anti-dsDNA, anti-CCP, c-ANCA, and p-ANCA was significantly higher in the COVID-19 patients compared to serum obtained from healthy subjects (p < .0001, p < .0001, p < .0001, p < .05, and p < .001, respectively). The positive number of anti-CCP tests increased significantly in severe COVID-19 compared to the moderate group (p < .01).

conclusionOur study further supports the development of autoantibodies related to systemic autoimmune rheumatologic diseases. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study with a large sample size that reported the occurrence of anti-CCP in a severe form of COVID-19.
