Efficacy of Ulinastatin in the Treatment of COVID-19: A Retrospective Study.
Article in International journal of general medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Purpose: This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of ulinastatin in the treatment of COVID-19 patients compared to conventional therapy. Patients and Methods: A total of 437 COVID-19 patients admitted to the Respiratory Oncology Department of our hospital between December 31, 2022, and July 8, 2023, were included in the study. Patients were classified into the observation group (n=62) receiving ulinastatin in addition to standard treatment and the control group (n=347) receiving standard treatment only. Clinical information, laboratory results, and treatment outcomes were collected and analyzed. Results: The observation group showed an improvement in lymphocyte count compared to the control group. The clinical improvement rate in patients receiving ulinastatin for 7 days or longer was 92.1%, significantly higher than that of patients treated for less than 7 days (62.5%) and those receiving standard treatment (71.0%). No significant difference in total length of hospitalization was observed between the two groups, and no related adverse events occurred in either group. Conclusion: Ulinastatin treatment improves lymphocyte counts in severe COVID-19 patients, and the clinical improvement rate is significantly higher with treatment duration of 7 days or longer. Larger-scale randomized controlled trials are warranted to further explore the role of ulinastatin in the management of COVID-19.
