Role of the coronary and non-coronary cardiovascular findings on non-cardiac gated thoracic CT in predicting mortality in SARS-CoV-2 infection.

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
backgroundThe potential effects of cardiovascular comorbidities on the clinical outcomes in severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection remain unclear. Identification of the coronary and non-coronary cardiovascular findings may help to stratify the patients' prognosis. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the prognostic impact of the coronary and the non-coronary cardiovascular findings in SARS-CoV-2 patients.
methodsWe studied a total of 594 SARS-CoV-2 patients who were hospitalized and performed a non-cardiac gated thoracic computed tomography. Two blinded radiologists assessed the coronary artery calcification segment involvement score (CACSIS) and non-coronary atherosclerosis cardiovascular findings (NCACVF). The baseline characteristics of the patients and CT findings were evaluated according to survival status. Logistic regression analyses were performed to identify the independent predictors of mortality.
resultsAt a mean follow-up of 8 (4-12.5) days, 44 deaths occurred (7.4%). Compared to survivors, non-survivors had increased CACSIS [27.3% (CACSIS = 0) vs 25% (CACSIS 1-5) vs 47.7% (CACSIS >5), p < 0.001]. Similarly, on NCACVF, non-survivors had much more major findings compared to survivors (29.5% vs. 2.7%, respectively, p < 0.001). At multivariable analysis, age (p = 0.009), creatinine (p < 0.001), hs-cTnI (p = 0.004) and NCACVF (HR 1.789; 95% CI 1.053-3.037; p = 0.031) maintained a significant independent association with in-hospital mortality.
conclusionOur study shows that coronary and non-coronary cardiovascular findings on non-cardiac gated thoracic CT may help to predict mortality in patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection.
