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

Introduction: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the cause of COVID-19, can progress to life-threatening disease and multiorgan failure, and the degree of circulating SARS-CoV-2 directly correlates to clinical deterioration and mortality. The engineered FcMBL protein binds numerous pathogens, including SARS-CoV-2, and pathogenic debris known as pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs). Case Presentation: We report the first clinical use of an extracorporeal filter utilizing FcMBL to bind and remove pathogens and PAMPs from the circulation of a critically ill patient with COVID-19-induced multiorgan failure. Conclusion: This case highlights the feasibility of using the novel filter to reduce the circulating pathogen load in patients with severe infection through the use of agnostic pathogen binding via FcMBL.
