Biomarkers for predicting COVID-19 mortality: A study at Sulianti Saroso Infectious Disease Hospital, Indonesia.

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 high transmissibility and mortality rates of the COVID-19 pandemic pose significant challenges. Patients can deteriorate rapidly, making it crucial to identify laboratory biomarkers for high-risk individuals. The aim of this study was to evaluate the predictive value of various laboratory parameters, including C-reactive protein (CRP), D-dimer, ferritin, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), prothrombin time (PT), and procalcitonin (PCT), in predicting COVID-19 mortality. A retrospective cohort study was conducted at Sulianti Saroso Infectious Disease Hospital, where COVID-19 patients were categorized into survivors and non-survivors. The Mann-Whitney test was used to assess group differences, while receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed to evaluate the predictive performance of each biomarker, with Youden's index (J) determining optimal cut-off values. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to compare median survival times, and Cox regression assessed hazard rates and the relationship between biomarkers and mortality. A total of 1,598 patients were analyzed, the majority of whom were admitted with oxygen saturation levels >95% and classified as having mild to moderate disease severity. Among them, 216 patients died, resulting in a mortality rate of 13.52%. Significant variations in mortality rates were observed along the survival functions for NLR, ferritin, D-dimer, CRP, and PCT (
