Extent of lung involvement over severity of cardiac disease for the prediction of adverse outcome in COVID-19 patients with cardiovascular disease.
Article in International journal of cardiology, 2021. 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
backgroundAim of the present study was to assess if the presence of high cardiovascular risk, left ventricle systolic dysfunction or elevated BNP or Troponin are able to independently predict the outcome of patients with known cardiac disease and COVID-19 pneumonia. METHODS AND
resultsFrom March 7th to April 28th, forty consecutive patients with known cardiac disease (chronic coronary artery disease, n=38; atrial fibrillation, n = 7; valvular disease, n = 13) referred to our emergency department for symptoms of suspected COVID-19, laboratory diagnosis of COVID-19 and typical signs of viral pneumonia at chest CT were enrolled in the study. The only predictor of the composite end-point (all cause of death + invasive ventilation + thromboembolic event) was the lung involvement % at chest CT (OR: 1.06; 95%CI: 1.01-1.11, P = 0.02). In the multivariate analysis, the lung involvement % at chest CT was the only independent predictor of the composite end-point (OR: 1.06; 95%CI: 1.01-1.11, P = 0.034).
conclusionsThe extent of lung involvement by COVID-19 is the only independent predictor of adverse outcome of patients and is predominant over the severity of cardiac disease.
