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

Background: Immune response plays a crucial role in virus clearance during COVID-19 infection and underpins vaccine efficacy. Herein, we aimed to assess the immune response during COVID-19 infection and following SARS-CoV-2 vaccination. Methods: In this retrospective study, 94 confirmed COVID-19 patients admitted to the intensive care unit were categorized into unvaccinated patients ( Result: The assessment of immune cell counts revealed a large rise of neutrophils associated to decrease number of lymphocytes in patients with COVID-19 infection. In dead patients, we detected a significant correlation between neutrophils and inflammatory parameters such as IL-6 and CRP. Moreover, analysis of immune cell count following vaccination did not reveal any significant difference. However, the most substantial result, herein, detected is the decrease level of IL-6 in vaccinated patients as compared to unvaccinated. The reduce level of IL-6 following vaccination is observed in discharged patients as compared to deceased. Regarding the level of mortality after vaccination, we showed that all patients who received the first dose were died (46.1%, Conclusions: Neutrophils combined with IL-6 and CRP can be very useful markers to predict disease severity in patients admitted to ICU. The decrease level of IL-6 in vaccinated group pointed out the impact of vaccination to prevent inflammatory cytokine release.
