Role of CD39 in COVID-19 Severity: Dysregulation of Purinergic Signaling and Thromboinflammation.
Article in Frontiers in immunology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
CD39/NTPDase1 has emerged as an important molecule that contributes to maintain inflammatory and coagulatory homeostasis. Various studies have hypothesized the possible role of CD39 in COVID-19 pathophysiology since no confirmatory data shed light in this regard. Therefore, we aimed to quantify CD39 expression on COVID-19 patients exploring its association with severity clinical parameters and ICU admission, while unraveling the role of purinergic signaling on thromboinflammation in COVID-19 patients. We selected a prospective cohort of patients hospitalized due to severe COVID-19 pneumonia (n=75), a historical cohort of Influenza A pneumonia patients (n=18) and sex/age-matched healthy controls (n=30). CD39 was overexpressed in COVID-19 patients' plasma and immune cell subsets and related to hypoxemia. Plasma soluble form of CD39 (sCD39) was related to length of hospital stay and independently associated with intensive care unit admission (adjusted odds ratio 1.04, 95%CI 1.0-1.08, p=0.038), with a net reclassification index of 0.229 (0.118-0.287; p=0.036). COVID-19 patients showed extracellular accumulation of adenosine nucleotides (ATP and ADP), resulting in systemic inflammation and pro-coagulant state, as a consequence of purinergic pathway dysregulation. Interestingly, we found that COVID-19 plasma caused platelet activation, which was successfully blocked by the P2Y
