Two episodes of acute dyspnea that were induced by COVID-19 in a peritoneal dialysis patient.
Article in CEN case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Dialysis patients have an increased risk of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-related mortality. Acute heart failure is a frequent, lethal complication of COVID-19, and it is a risk factor for mortality in hemodialysis patients. Therefore, it is crucial to rapidly distinguish heart failure from COVID-19 pneumonia. Here, we report a case of two episodes of acute dyspnea that were induced by COVID-19 in a peritoneal dialysis (PD) patient. The first episode of acute dyspnea was an exacerbation of heart failure caused by COVID-19 when the patient had a volume overload status due to a peritoneal dialysis catheter malfunction. Heart failure induced by a catheter malfunction was due to omental wrapping, and it was treated with ultrafiltration by hemodialysis and mini-laparotomy. The patient's acute dyspnea was immediately resolved. The second episode of acute dyspnea was caused by COVID-19 pneumonia, which occurred 1 week after the first episode. This case suggests the importance of identifying heart failure and beginning adequate treatment, in COVID-19 patients with PD.
