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

COVID-19 started as an unknown viral illness and has been a challenging pandemic to overcome. The virus has been associated with multiple organ involvement, including the heart. Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TSCM), a stress cardiomyopathy, is an uncommon complication in patients diagnosed with COVID-19. The pathogenesis is historically a result of stress onto the body that leads to a catecholamine surge. However, COVID-19 may cause direct damage to the cardiac myocytes via spike protein and angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptors which can further exacerbate the stressful insult on the patient and lower the threshold for developing TSCM. In this case report, we discuss a 94-year-old female who presented with signs and symptoms of acute coronary syndrome but, upon cardiac catheterization, was found to have basal hypercontraction with apical ballooning, consistent with TSCM.
