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

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-COV-2) has created a global pandemic. As we try to understand the virus, we are learning that it can affect many organ systems. Most commonly coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) virus affects the respiratory tract and the lungs impairing oxygen transport to the systemic circulation. Its effect on the cardiovascular system can be equally as devastating. Patients can develop pericarditis, myocarditis, and pericardial effusion that can at times lead to tamponade. Here we present an unusual case of a patient with COVID-19 pneumonia who presented with pericardial effusion along with enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes.
