Acute pericarditis revealing COVID-19 infection: Case report.
Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
The COVID-19 is a global pandemic that is now responsible for more than 2 million deaths around the world. Its clinical manifestations are well known such as fever, fatigue and other respiratory signs like severe cough, dyspnea. Cardiac involvement, however, is less recognized and often underestimated and could be the only manifestation of COVID-19. Case presentation: We report a case of pericarditis as the primary presentation of COVID-19 among a young, healthy individual with no medical background, in the absence of the conventional respiratory signs. The diagnosis was based on a set of clinical, biological, radiological and electrocardiographic findings. In this case, the treatment was based on the use of Colchicine in addition to COVID-19 treatment. The outcome was favorable; noticing regression of symptoms and disappearance of pericardial effusion within two weeks. Clinical discussion: Acute pericarditis has been widely described in literature as probable complication of COVID-19, yet only few articles have reported it as a primary manifestation of COVID-19. Conclusion: Chest pain could be the only presenting symptom of COVID-19 among young, healthy individuals.To that end, clinicians should recognize cardiac involvement of COVID-19 and act accordingly to isolate patients and further limit the spread of the disease.
