Beyond Acute COVID-19: A Review of Long-term Cardiovascular Outcomes.
Review in The Canadian journal of cardiology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 29 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Statistics Canada estimated that approximately 1.4 million Canadians suffer from long COVID. Although cardiovascular changes during acute SARS-CoV-2 infection are well documented, long-term cardiovascular sequelae are less understood. In this review, we sought to characterize adult cardiovascular outcomes in the months after acute COVID-19 illness. In our search we identified reports of outcomes including cardiac dysautonomia, myocarditis, ischemic injuries, and ventricular dysfunction. Even in patients without overt cardiac outcomes, subclinical changes have been observed. Cardiovascular sequelae after SARS-CoV-2 infection can stem from exacerbation of preexisting conditions, ongoing inflammation, or as a result of damage that occurred during acute infection. For example, myocardial fibrosis has been reported months after hospital admission for COVID-19 illness, and might be a consequence of myocarditis and myocardial injury during acute disease. In turn, myocardial fibrosis can contribute to further outcomes including dysrhythmias and heart failure. Severity of acute infection might be a risk factor for long-term cardiovascular consequences, however, cardiovascular changes have also been reported in young, healthy individuals who had asymptomatic or mild acute disease. Although evolving evidence suggests that previous SARS-CoV-2 infection might be a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, there is heterogeneity in existing evidence, and some studies are marred by measured and unmeasured confounders. Many investigations have also been limited by relatively short follow-up. Future studies should focus on longer term outcomes (beyond 1 year) and identifying the prevalence of outcomes in different populations on the basis of acute and long COVID disease severity.
