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

backgroundCoronavirus disease (COVID-19), caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection, presents a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations, ranging from asymptomatic cases to severe and fatal outcomes. Studies have shown that laboratory parameters fluctuate in patients with COVID-19, and these parameters serve as valuable biomarkers for monitoring disease progression. This study examines the relationship between changes in biochemical and hematological markers and patient survival among early COVID-19 cases. MATERIALS AND

methodsIn this retrospective cohort study, data from adult (≥18 years) hospitalized COVID-19 patients with positive PCR results at HRH Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn Medical Center, Srinakharinwirot University, Nakhon Nayok, Thailand, between March and December 2021, were analyzed. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted on mortality-related laboratory parameters. All measures are reported as adjusted odds ratios (aORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs).

resultsThe cohort included 397 patients with pneumonia (median age: 52.2 years (IQR: 40.5-64.6); 61.96% female). Among them, 42 patients (10.58%) succumbed during hospitalization, with a median hospital stay of 12.92 days (IQR: 10.03-15.94). Independent mortality predictors were identified as follows: age (aOR = 1.11; 95% CI: 1.04-1.19;

conclusionsOur findings suggest that age, potassium, creatinine, hemoglobin A1c, red cell distribution width, and platelet count are significant predictors of mortality risk in patients with COVID-19. Clinicians should consider these biochemical and hematological markers critically before initiating treatment for COVID-19 patients.
