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

Purpose: Immunocompromised patients are at increased risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19 due to their altered immune responses, yet their inflammatory profiles and the interplay between immunosuppression remain poorly understood. We aimed to illustrate the inflammation profile and clinical outcomes of hospitalized immunocompromised patients with COVID-19. Methods: We conducted a retrospective study using a multicenter database and included adult hospitalized patients with Corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in China's late 2022 COVID-19 wave. Crude and adjusted 28- and 60-day mortality was compared between the two groups. Inflammatory phenotypes were evaluated by serum interleukin-6 (IL-6) and C-reactive protein (CRP) level. The interplay between overt inflammation and immunosuppression was analyzed. Results: Among the 4078 included patients, 348 (8.5%) were immunocompromised. Immunocompromised patients had lower crude mortality but higher adjusted mortality at 28-day (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.55; 95% CI 1.08 to 2.23) and 60-day (HR = 1.47; 95% CI 1.05 to 2.06). Besides, immunocompromised patients had a higher risk of developing hyperinflammation (odd ratio [OR] =1.92; 95% CI 1.47 to 2.50, p <0.001). Moreover, hyperinflammation mediated a major part of the deleterious survival effect of immunosuppression on COVID-19. Conclusion: Immunodeficiency not only increases short-term mortality risk but also predisposes patients to hyperinflammation. The complex interplay between immunosuppression, hyperinflammation, and COVID-19 outcomes warrants more detailed profiling of inflammation and immunity in this population.
