COVID-19 With Stress Cardiomyopathy Mortality and Outcomes Among Patients Hospitalized in the United States: A Propensity Matched Analysis Using the National Inpatient Sample Database.
Review in Current problems in cardiology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Takotsubo syndrome (stress cardiomyopathy) has become a well-known complication of COVID-19 infections, with limited large-scale studies evaluating outcomes. We used the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database to compare COVID-19 patients with and without stress cardiomyopathy. A total of 1,659,040 patients were included in the study: COVID-19 with stress cardiomyopathy (n = 1665, 0.1%) and COVID-19 without stress cardiomyopathy (n = 1657, 375, and 99.9%). The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality, with secondary analysis with propensity matching performed to confirm results from traditional multivariate analysis. COVID-19 patients with stress cardiomyopathy had significantly increased in-hospital mortality compared to COVID-19 patients without stress cardiomyopathy (32.8% vs 14.6%, adjusted OR [aOR]: 2.3 [95% CI, 1.2-4.5], P = 0.01) along with significantly increased mechanical ventilation and vasopressor support, hospitalization charge, acute kidney injury requiring hemodialysis, cardiogenic shock, and cardiac arrest. These results emphasize the need for more research to reduce worse outcomes with COVID-19-related stress cardiomyopathy patients.
