Genetic Analysis and Predictive Modeling of COVID-19 Severity in a Hospital-Based Patient Cohort.
Article in Biomolecules, 2025. 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
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a devastating impact, with more than 7 million deaths worldwide. Advanced age and comorbidities partially explain severe cases of the disease, but genetic factors also play a significant role. Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have been instrumental in identifying loci associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection. Here, we report the results from a >820 K variant GWAS in a COVID-19 patient cohort from the hospitals associated with IIS Biobizkaia. We compared intensive care unit (ICU)-hospitalized patients with non-ICU-hospitalized patients. The GWAS was complemented with an integrated phenotype and genetic modeling analysis using HLA genotypes, a previously identified COVID-19 polygenic risk score (PRS) and clinical data. We identified four variants associated with COVID-19 severity with genome-wide significance (rs58027632 in KIF19; rs736962 in HTRA1; rs77927946 in DMBT1; and rs115020813 in LINC01283). In addition, we designed a multivariate predictive model including HLA, PRS and clinical data which displayed an area under the curve (AUC) value of 0.79. Our results combining human genetic information with clinical data may help to improve risk assessment for the development of a severe outcome of COVID-19.
