Cardiovascular manifestations of monkeypox virus outbreak: An overview of the reported cases.
Review in Heart & lung : the journal of critical care. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundMonkeypox (Mpox) is a zoonotic DNA virus related to the orthopoxvirus family that causes also smallpox infection.
objectivesIn this paper, we aimed to study the cardiovascular manifestations of Mpox.
methodA literature databases search was conducted on 20th October 2022 and limited to 2022 (the new outbreak) to collect all the relevant papers that discussed cardiovascular manifestations in Mpox.
resultsThe literature included 6 cases of myocarditis, one case of pericarditis, one case of myopericarditis and one case of atrial fibrillation. Of total 6 cases with completed data, ECG results and troponin levels were abnormal in 5 cases while only three cases had abnormal ECHO and CMR results. In the four cases who undergone chest X-rays, only one patient had non-specific retro-cardiac opacities. All patients (9 cases) recovered well from their cardiovascular manifestations with no deaths and only 3 of them required ICU admission.
conclusionWith the limited reported cases, we recommend performing cardiovascular examinations -in particular ECG and troponin levels- in order to exclude cardiovascular insult in patients with suspected Mpox -cardiovascular involvement. However, in our series the infection was mild in most patients with no mortality.
