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

The diagnosis and risk stratification of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is primarily based on discretionary use of laboratory resources. Several lines of evidence now attest that cardiovascular disease not only is a frequent complication of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, but its pre-existence may increase the risk of morbidity, disability, and death in patients with COVID-19. To this end, routine assessment of biomarkers of cardiac injury (i.e., cardiac troponin I or T) and dysfunction (e.g., natriuretic peptides) has emerged as an almost essential practice in patients with moderate, severe, and critical COVID-19 illness. Therefore, this narrative review aims to provide an overview of cardiac involvement in patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection as well as the clinical background for including cardiac biomarkers within specific panels of laboratory tests for managing COVID-19 patients.
