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

Many cases of severe cardiac complications due to Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) were reported. Cancer and chemotherapy appear to be risk and prognostic factors for COVID-19. A 49-year-old Female, with a history of breast cancer treated by tumorectomy and anthracycline-based chemotherapy was admitted with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) confirmed as COVID-19. She also had elevated troponin I level (up to 43 g/L), and diffuse myocardial hypokinesia along with severe left ventricle dysfunction on echocardiography. Initial treatment included hydroxychloroquine, azithromycin, corticosteroids and mechanical ventilation. The evolution was marked by QT interval prolongation (QTc=523 ms) and occurrence of cardiogenic shock. The patient died of hemodynamic instability reluctant to resuscitation measures at the 2
