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

This study investigated new incident clinical disorders in patients with COVID-19-related hyperinflammatory syndrome (cHIS) 3.5 years post infection. We analyzed 14,335 patients hospitalized with COVID-19 from March-2020 to July-2023. cHIS was defined based on a point system that included elevated body temperature, macrophage activation, hematological dysfunction, coagulopathy, and hepatic enzyme. Outcomes were newly diagnosed disorders of hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, chronic kidney disease (CKD), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and asthma post COVID-19. Cumulative incidences and hazard ratios were computed. Compared to non-cHIS patients, cHIS patients were older, fewer female, more Blacks, higher prevalence of pre-existing comorbidities. Patients with cHIS had higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease (HR = 1.24 [1.04,1.47] p < 0.05), CKD (1.24 [1.01, 1.53] p < 0.05), and obesity (1.61 [1.31,1.98], p < 0.001) but not hypertension, diabetes, COPD, and asthma. Cumulative incidence analysis showed that patients ≥ 50 years old showed markedly higher new incidences of individual new disorders compared to patients < 50 years old. COVID-19 related hyperinflammatory syndrome confers a significantly higher risk for developing new common clinical disorders. Identifying risks for developing new clinical disorders in patients with COVID-19 related hyperinflammatory syndrome may encourage diligent follow-up of high-risk individuals.
