Pre-hospital oxygen therapy and saturation variability in COVID-19 patients with and without glucose metabolism disorders: part of the COLOS Study.

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
The COVID-19 pandemic has revealed that viruses can have multiple receptor properties, penetrating various tissues and causing mutations in various genes, thus promoting a range of metabolic disorders. The purpose of this study was to investigate the connection between three factors: diabetic status, pre-hospitalization oxygen therapy, and saturation levels, to the values of morphological, inflammatory, and biochemical parameters in the blood serum of COVID-19 patients. The study group consisted of 2139 patients, 1076 women (50.30%) and 1063 men (49.70%), with an average age of 63.73 ± 15.69 years. The population was divided into three groups based on a three-stage scale, taking into account patients with either type 2 diabetes/prediabetes (473 patients), those who received oxygen therapy before hospitalization, and those with a saturation value of below 95% (cut-off value). Among patients who did not receive pre-hospitalization oxygen therapy, those with diabetes and a SpO2 level < 95% had significantly higher levels of D-dimers, procalcitonin, albumin, lymphocytes, RDW-SD ≥ 47, potassium, creatinine, and troponin T when compared to diabetic patients with a SpO2 level ≥ 95%. Similarly, in the same group of patients without pre-hospitalization oxygen therapy, those without diabetes but with a SpO2 level < 95% showed significantly increased levels of IL-6, CRP, albumin, lymphocytes, RDW-SD ≥ 47, glucose, potassium, sodium, creatinine, and ALT, compared to patients without diabetes and with a SpO2 level ≥ 95%. The findings suggest that lower saturation levels may result in increased potassium and glucose levels in patients who did not receive any oxygen therapy before hospitalization due to COVID-19. It is hypothesized that this may be caused by damage to pancreatic β-cells by SARS-CoV-2, and disturbances in the potassium channel, leading to cell membrane depolarization and insulin secretion.
