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
COVID-19 is a multisystem disease with many clinical manifestations, including liver damage and inflammation. The objective of this study is to analyze inflammation biomarkers in relation to the clinical outcome and respiratory symptoms of COVID-19. This is a retrospective cohort of patients with COVID-19 admitted to the Hospital Regional do Baixo Amazonas from 2020 to 2022. Data were collected from electronic medical records from admission to the 30th day of hospitalization and soon after hospital discharge. A total of 397 patients were included in the study. In the longitudinal follow-up of liver markers, a significant difference was found for AST on day 14, with a higher median in the death group. Among the hematological markers, lymphopenia was observed throughout the follow-up, with the death group having the most altered values. When comparing the evolution of biomarkers in the Non-Invasive Ventilation (NIV) and Invasive Mechanical Ventilation (IMV) groups, AST showed a significant difference only on day 14 and GGT on day 1, being greater in the IMV group, and indirect bilirubin on day 7 being more altered in the NIV group. In conclusion, death during hospitalization or a more severe form of COVID-19 was related to significant changes in liver and inflammatory biomarkers.
