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

backgroundSARS-CoV-2 uses the human cell receptor angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE2). ACE2 is widely present in the cardiovascular system including the myocardium and the conduction system. COVID-19 patients that present severe symptoms have been reported to have complications involving myocardial injuries caused by the virus. Here we report the detection of SARS-CoV-2 by whole genome sequencing in the endocardium of a patient with severe bradycardia. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a case of a 34-year-old male patient with COVID-19 tested by PCR, he started with gastrointestinal symptoms, however, he quickly deteriorated his hemodynamic state by means of myocarditis and bradycardia. After performing an endocardium biopsy, it was possible to identify the presence of SARS-CoV-2 in the heart tissue and to sequence its whole genome using the ARTIC-Network protocol and a modified tissue RNA extraction method. The patient's outcome was improved after a permanent pacemaker was implanted.

conclusionsIt was possible to identify a SARS-CoV-2 clade 20A in the endocardium of the reported patient.
