Intermittent left bundle branch block with septal flash and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome in a young woman with long COVID-19.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
The emerging entity, long COVID -19 is characterised by long-lasting dyspnoea, fatigue, cognitive dysfunction and other symptoms. Cardiac involvement manifested as conduction abnormalities, left ventricle mechanical dyssynchrony, dyspnoea, palpitation and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) are common in long COVID-19. The direct viral damage to the myocardium or immune-mediated inflammation are postulated mechanisms. A woman in her forties presented with a 2-month history of chest pain, functional dyspnoea, palpitation and an episode of syncope after having been home-isolated for mild COVID infection. During clinical workup, a clustering of ECG and echocardiographic abnormalities including left bundle branch block, septal flash, and presystolic wave on spectral Doppler echocardiography, and POTS were detected. The echocardiographic findings together with POTS and persistent dyspnoea indicated the presence of a long COVID-19 state. The prevalence and clinical significance of these finding, as well as the impact on long-term prognosis, should be investigated in future studies.
