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

Purpose: Although the role of SARS-CoV-2-specfic immune cells has been revealed, a comprehensive understanding of immune patterns remains unknown. Methods: In this work, unsupervised consensus clustering analysis was used to classify 240 coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients into different immune subtypes. Next, we performed differentially expressed analysis between different immune subtypes. Functional enrichment and pathway analyses were employed to reveal the biological significance of these differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Besides, we compared feature score of some DEGs between whole blood and lung tissues. Then, we utilized the "GSVA" algorithm to construct an immune cell infiltrating (ICI) tool based on the categories of these DEGs. Finally, we developed a nomogram associated with severity of COVID-19. Results: As a result, we identified two immune subtypes, and 238 DEGs which mainly participated in some immune-related functions and the COVID-19 pathway. Most importantly, the 238 DEGs could reflect the characterization of immune patterns in lung tissues. ICI scores were markedly negative associated with immune scores. It was worth noting that ICI score was a strong indicator for severity of COVID-19 and could accurately predict the severity of COVID-19. Conclusion: Our findings could provide more valuable strategies for the management of COVID-19.
