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

Aim: We aimed to study the effect of COVID-19 on the in-hospital outcomes of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Method: A systematic literature search was performed in 2nd February 2022 updated in 12th December 2022 for recruiting relevant papers. The effect size was computed via the odds ratio (OR) for dichotomous data or standardized mean difference (SMD) for continuous data along with the 95% confidence interval (95%CI). Results: After the screening of 1075 records, we found 11 relevant papers that included 2018 COVID-19 patients and negative controls 21,207. ACS patients with COVID-19 had a significant higher mortality rate (OR: 4.95; 95%CI: 3.92-6.36; Conclusion: Despite that we found a significant association between COVID-19 and high mortality, more length of hospital stay and reduced post TIMI 3 score, in ACS patients after PCI, a rigorous analysis of the adjusted hazard ratio -that was absent in most of the included studies- by further meta-analysis is recommended to confirm this association. However, close monitoring of COVID-19 in patients with a high risk of developing ACS, is recommended due to the associated hypercoagulability of COVID-19 infection.
