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

As the world grapples with the coronavirus-19 (COVID) pandemic, more reports are coming in regarding Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in endotheliopathy. It is a vascular condition in which endothelial cell injury or damage inflicts anatomical and functional changes in the endothelium, significantly impacting the physiological process and function. Previously, it was assumed that SARS-CoV-2 infects respiratory epithelial cells via spike glycoproteins present on the surface of the virus. However, severe cases and different autopsy studies described the clandestine role of this virus in infecting endothelial cells other than epithelial cells. It was observed that SARS-CoV-2 targets the pulmonary and extrapulmonary systems to damage the microvasculature and affect respiratory functioning, resulting in the onset of endotheliopathy, thrombosis, inflammation, pulmonary edema, and fibrosis. Such deleterious events are the consequence of the hyperactive immune response initiated by the SARS-CoV-2 infection, leading to pulmonary and extrapulmonary complications. However, the molecular mechanism behind endotheliopathy and other complications caused by this virus is elusive and will be unraveled by covering recent literature in this mini-review.
