Association Between Coagulation Fibrinolysis Markers and Severity in Patients with COVID-19.

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
introductionThrombosis is a major complication of COVID-19. D-dimer (DD) is an important coagulation fibrinolysis marker in COVID-19 and has been extensively studied. However, very little is known about the role of other fibrinolysis markers, plasmin-plasmin inhibitor complex (PIC), and fibrin monomer complex (FMC) in COVID-19. This study investigated and compared the associations of DD, PIC, and FMC with COVID-19 severity.
methodsArchived plasma samples from patients with COVID-19 (n = 50) were assessed for DD, FMC, and PIC levels. We compared the levels between patients with mild (n = 36) and moderate (n = 14) COVID-19 and evaluated their correlation with other COVID-19 severity markers, including lactate dehydrogenase (LD), serum albumin (Alb), C-reactive protein (CRP), and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR).
resultsPatients with moderate COVID-19 had significantly higher DD and PIC levels than those with mild disease, while FMC levels were comparable. DD and PIC levels significantly correlated with LD, Alb, and NLR. Additionally, PIC levels significantly correlated with CRP levels. However, FMC levels correlated only with Alb but not with LD, NLR, or CRP.
conclusionsCOVID-19 severity was significantly associated with PIC and DD levels but not with FMC levels. PIC was the variable with the most clearly significant difference between patients with moderate disease and those with mild disease, highlighting its potential as an indicator of coagulation and fibrinolysis imbalance in patients with COVID-19. Further studies with larger sample sizes and more diverse severity groups are required to confirm these findings.
