Acute pericarditis after COVID 19 in a peritoneal dialysis patient.
Article in CEN case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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 is known to affect numerous organs which have ACE-2 receptors, lung being the most involved organ. Nevertheless, cardiac involvement is not uncommon and can occur through a variety of manifestations. The authors hereby report a case of pericarditis following SARS-CoV-2 infection. A 54-year-old man with end stage kidney disease under peritoneal dialysis presented with acute chest pain approximately 1 month after being diagnosed with COVID-19. Electrocardiogram revealed widespread ST segment elevation. The diagnosis of acute pericarditis secondary to the viral infection was made and the patient was treated accordingly. Etiology of acute pericarditis can be very varied, and, in many times, no cause is ascertained. In such circumstances, viral or immune mediated etiologies are assumed. In our case, since no cause was proven, pericarditis was assumed as secondary to the SARS-CoV-2 infection. This entity is probably underdiagnosed. In patients undergoing dialysis, uremic pericarditis is commonly the etiology. However, different causes must be taken into consideration, COVID-19 being one of them.
