Host Response Markers of Inflammation and Endothelial Activation Associated with COVID-19 Severity and Mortality: A GeoSentinel Prospective Observational Cohort.
Observational study in Viruses, 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
backgroundThe effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on healthcare systems emphasized the need for rapid and effective triage tools to identify patients at risk of severe or fatal infection. Measuring host response markers of inflammation and endothelial activation at clinical presentation may help to inform appropriate triage and care practices in patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection.
methodsWe enrolled patients with COVID-19 across five GeoSentinel clinical sites (in Italy, Belgium, Canada, and the United States) from September 2020 to December 2021, and analyzed the association of plasma markers, including soluble urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR), soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor-1 (sTREM-1), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8 (IL-8), complement component C5a (C5a), von Willebrand factor (VWF-a2), and interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra), with 28-day (D28) mortality and 7-day (D7) severity (discharged, hospitalized on ward, or died/admitted to the ICU).
resultsOf 193 patients, 8.9% (16 of 180) died by D28. Higher concentrations of suPAR were associated with increased odds of mortality at D28 and severity at D7 in univariable and multivariable regression models. The biomarkers sTREM-1 and IL-1Ra showed bivariate associations with mortality at D28 and severity at D7. IL-6, VWF, C5a, and IL-8 were not as indicative of progression to severe disease or death.
