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

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection has resulted in the global coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Despite several single-cell RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) studies, conclusions cannot be reached owing to the small number of available samples and the differences in technology and tissue types used in the studies. To better understand the cellular landscape and disease severity in COVID-19, we performed a meta-analysis of publicly available single-cell RNA-seq data from peripheral blood and lung samples of COVID-19 patients with varying degrees of severity. Patients with severe disease showed increased numbers of M1 macrophages in lung tissue, while the number of M2 macrophages was depleted. Cellular profiling of the peripheral blood showed a marked increase of CD14
