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

backgroundCOVID-19 has recently been associated with the development of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM). This scoping review aims to summarize the existing evidence regarding TCM in COVID-19 and offer future direction for study.

methodsFollowing the PRISMA Extension for Scoping Reviews, MEDLINE and EMBASE were searched for all peer-reviewed articles with relevant keywords including "Takotsubo", "Stress-induced cardiomyopathy" and "COVID-19" from their inception to September 25, 2021.

resultsA total of 40 articles with 52 cases were included. Patients with TCM and COVID-19 showed only slight female predominance (59.6%), median age of 68.5 years, and were mostly of the apical subtype (88.6%). All-cause mortality was 36.5%. The median LVEF was 30%. Compared to those without TCM, those with TCM in COVID-19 had more critical illness, higher mortality, lower LVEF, and higher cardiac and inflammatory biomarkers. Notably, the diagnostic criteria of TCM were considerably different between case reports and observational studies.

conclusionThis scoping review identifies that TCM in COVID-19 may have distinct features that distinguish this condition from TCM without COVID-19. Future studies are warranted to help describe risk factors, determine the utility of inflammatory biomarkers and serum catecholamine levels, and establish disease-specific diagnostic criteria.
