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

Urokinase receptors regulate the interplay between inflammation, immunity, and blood clotting. The soluble urokinase plasminogen activator system is an immunologic regulator affecting endothelial function and its related receptor; the soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) has been reported to impact kidney injury. This work aims to measure serum levels of suPAR in COVID-19 patients and correlate the measurements with variable clinicolaboratory parameters and patient outcomes. In this prospective cohort study, 150 COVID-19 patients and 50 controls were included. The circulating suPAR levels were quantified by Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Routine COVID-19 laboratory assessments, including CBC, CRP, LDH, serum creatinine, and estimated glomerular filtration rates, were performed. The need for oxygen therapy, CO-RAD score, and survival rates was assessed. Bioinformatic analysis and molecular docking were run to explore the urokinase receptor structure/function and to characterize molecules as potential anti-suPAR therapeutic targets, respectively. We found higher circulating suPAR levels in COVID-19 patients vs. controls (
