Early Metabolomic and Immunologic Biomarkers as Prognostic Indicators for COVID-19.
Article in Metabolites, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
This prospective study in Hong Kong aimed at identifying prognostic metabolomic and immunologic biomarkers for Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). We examined 327 patients, mean age 55 (19-89) years, in whom 33.6% were infected with Omicron and 66.4% were infected with earlier variants. The effect size of disease severity on metabolome outweighed others including age, gender, peak C-reactive protein (CRP), vitamin D and peak viral levels. Sixty-five metabolites demonstrated strong associations and the majority (54, 83.1%) were downregulated in severe disease (z score: -3.30 to -8.61). Ten cytokines/chemokines demonstrated strong associations (
