1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

COVID-19 is a pandemic illness caused by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2). It has been estimated that 80% of subject infected are asymptomatic or have mild to moderate symptoms. Differently, in severe cases of COVID-19, cytokine storm, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), severe systemic inflammatory response and cardiovascular diseases were observed Even if all molecular mechanisms leading to cardiovascular dysfunction in COVID-19 patients remain to be clarified, the evaluation of biomarkers of cardiac injury, stress and inflammation proved to be an excellent tool to identify the COVID-19 patients with worse outcome. However, the number of biomarkers used to manage COVID-19 patients is expected to increase with the increasing knowledge of the pathophysiology of the disease. It is our view that soluble suppressor of tumorigenicity 2 (sST2) can be used as biomarker in COVID-19. sST2 is routinely used as prognostic biomarker in patients with HF. Moreover, high circulating levels of sST2 have also been found in subjects with ARDS, pulmonary fibrosis and sepsis. Keeping in mind these considerations, in this review the possible mechanisms through which the SARS-CoV2 infection could damage the cardiovascular system were summarized and the possible role of sST2 in COVID-19 patients with CVD was discussed.
