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

Severe Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection presents with acute respiratory distress syndrome and multiorgan dysfunction. Cardiac involvement is seen in about a quarter of patients, and it can present as acute coronary syndromes, arrhythmias, myocarditis, and thromboembolic events. Ventricular arrhythmias in the setting of COVID-19 infection are usually multifactorial in etiology. There are only a few reports of ventricular tachycardia (VT) storms in patients with COVID-19 infection. We hereby report a case of an elderly man with severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction and a stable cardiac status for the last few years who, following coronary artery bypass graft surgery and implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) implantation, experienced a VT storm after a COVID-19 infection. The VT storm was controlled using multiple ICD shocks, along with antiarrhythmic drugs. Following his recovery from COVID-19 infection, the patient was asymptomatic at a 3-month follow-up.
