Electrocardiographic markers of increased risk of sudden cardiac death in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia.
Observational study in Annals of noninvasive electrocardiology : the official journal of the International Society for Holter and Noninvasive Electrocardiology, Inc, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundLittle is known about the role of ECG markers of increased risk of sudden cardiac death during the acute period of coronavirus disease 2019 ( COVID-19) pneumonia.
objectivesTo evaluate ECG markers of sudden cardiac death on admission, including the index of cardiac electrophysiological balance (iCEB) (QTc/QRS) and transmural dispersion of repolarization (TDR) (T from peak to end (Tp-e) interval and Tp-e/QTc), in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia. PATIENTS AND
methodsThis cross-sectional study included 63 patients with newly diagnosed COVID-19 pneumonia who presented to the outpatient clinic or admitted to the respiratory care unit between August 20 and September 15, 2020. Forty-six persons matched for sex and age were selected from data collected before COVID-19 pandemic.
resultsQRS and QTc showed a significant prolongation in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia compared to the controls (87 vs. 78, p < .00, and 429 versus. 400, p < .00, respectively). After categorization of patients with COVID-19 pneumonia into 3 groups according to the severity of pneumonia as mild-moderate, severe, and critical groups, a decreased values of QRS were observed in the critical COVID-19 pneumonia group compared to severe and mild-moderate COVID-19 pneumonia groups (p = .04) while increased values of QTc and iCEB(QTc/QRS) were noted in critical COVID-19 pneumonia group compared to other 2 groups(p < .00).
conclusionsPatients with COVID-19 pneumonia showed significant changes in repolarization and conduction parameters compared to controls. Patients with mild to severe COVID-19 pneumonia may be at low risk for torsades de pointes development.
