The frequency of arrhythmias in COVID-19 patients, a study in the Shahid Mostafa Khomeini Hospital of Ilam from March to August 2020.

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
Cardiac arrhythmias are important causes of death among populations and are always responsible for a high percentage of mortality in hospitalized patients. The aim of this descriptive analytical study was to evaluate the frequency of arrhythmias in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in the Shahid Mostafa Khomeini Hospital of Ilam from March to August 2020. All the COVID-19 patients with a cardiac condition admitted to the intensive care unit were enrolled in the study by census. Electrocardiography (ECG) and Holter monitoring were used to diagnose arrhythmias. Data analysis was performed in Microsoft Excel using descriptive statistics (frequency and percentage). The total number of eligible patients was 45, of whom 26 (57.8%) were men and 19 (42.2%) were women. The mortality rate of arrhythmias among COVID-19 patients was 17.77% (8 out of 45 patients), and the recovery rate was 82.13% (37 out of 45 patients). Tachycardia and a lack of response to heart-rate-reducing drugs were observed in patients with COVID-19. Owing to an overlap between these symptoms and those of heart diseases, there is a need to further evaluate patients with arrhythmias. Although arrhythmias are not common in COVID-19 patients, they can be fatal and have a high mortality rate, which can be prevented by early detection.
