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

The 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is the disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection. Although this infection has been shown to affect the respiratory system, a high incidence of thrombotic events has been observed in severe cases of COVID-19 and in a significant portion of COVID-19 nonsurvivors. Although prior literature has reported on both the coagulopathy and hypercoagulability of COVID-19, the specifics of coagulation have not been fully investigated. Observations of microthrombosis in patients with COVID-19 have brought attention to potential inflammatory endothelial injury. Von Willebrand factor (VWF) and its protease, A disintegrin and metalloproteinase with a thrombospondin type 1 motif, member 13 (ADAMTS13), play an important homeostatic role in responding to endothelial injury. This report provides an overview of the literature investigating the role the VWF/ADAMTS13 axis may have in COVID-19 thrombotic events and suggests potential therapeutic strategies to prevent the progression of coagulopathy in patients with COVID-19.
