Electrocardiographic manifestations of COVID-19: Effect on cardiac activation and repolarization.
Article in EClinicalMedicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundProlonged QT intervals are reported in patients with COVID-19. Additionally, virus particles in heart tissue and abnormal troponin levels have been reported. Consequently, we hypothesize that cardiac electrophysiologic abnormalities may be associated with COVID-19.
methodsThis is a retrospective study between March 15
findingsBaseline QTc of inpatients was prolonged compared to patients discharged (450.1±30.2 versus 423.4±21.7 msec,
interpretationQRS and QTc intervals are early markers for COVID-19 disease progression and mortality. ECG, a readily accessible tool, identifies cardiac involvement and may be used to predict disease course.
