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

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a highly contagious infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). We report two cases of COVID-19-associated atrial fibrillation (AF) in two elderly females and a case of atrial flutter (AFlutter) in a middle-aged male patient. We believe this case series will contribute to the literature on new-onset AF and AFlutter in patients with acute COVID-19 infection. This case series illustrates various case scenarios of patients developing cardiac arrhythmia with acute COVID-19 infection without any prior history or other explicable cause of AF/AFlutter. The exact mechanism behind COVID-19 infection leading to AF or AFlutter is still unknown. Of the three patients reported, two converted to sinus rhythm following medical management, and one did not convert to sinus rhythm despite medical treatment.
