Levels of circulating kidney injury markers and IL-10 identify non-critically ill patients with COVID-19 at risk of death.
Trial report in JCI insight, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 3 registered trials, which are not on this 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.

Abstract
BACKGROUNDAfter identifying 2 immunomarkers of acute injury, KIM-1 and LCN2, in all kidney biopsies from 31 patients with COVID-19 pneumonia and de novo kidney dysfunction, we investigated whether circulating markers of kidney epithelial injury are common in patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 who require oxygen support but do not have critical illness.METHODSWe studied 196 patients admitted to 15 hospitals with moderate to severe pneumonia who were enrolled in 2 independent randomized clinical trials. We measured 41 immune mediators and markers of kidney and endothelial injury in peripheral blood in these patients within 24 hours of randomization.RESULTSWe constructed a generalized linear CORIMUNO model combining serum levels of KIM-1, LCN2, IL-10, and age at hospital admission that showed high discrimination for mortality (derivation cohort: AUC = 0.82, 95% CI: 0.73-0.92; validation cohort: AUC = 0.83, 95% CI: 0.74-0.92). An early rise in circulating kidney injury markers, in the absence of acute kidney injury criteria, was markedly associated with the risk of developing a severe form of COVID-19 and death within 3 months.CONCLUSIONThe CORIMUNO score may be a helpful tool for risk stratification, and for the first time to our knowledge, it identifies the overlooked impact of subclinical kidney injury on pneumonia outcomes.TRIAL REGISTRATIONClinicalTrials.gov NCT04324047, NCT04324073, and NCT04331808.FUNDINGThis research was funded by the French Ministry of Health, Programme Hospitalier de Recherche Clinique (PHRC COVID-19-20-0151, PHRC COVID-19-20-0029), Fondation de l'Assistance Publique Hôpitaux de Paris (Alliance Tous Unis Contre le Virus), Assistance Publique Hôpitaux de Paris, and grants from the Fondation pour la Recherche Médicale (FRM) (REA202010012514) and Agence Nationale de Recherches sur le Sida and emerging infectious diseases (ANRS) (ANRS0147) from the VINTED sponsorship.
