The unexpected evolution of myocardial injury while infected with the coronavirus: A COVID-19 case report.
Article in South African journal of sports medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: A novel virus breakout in December 2019, with diverse clinical manifestations, initially identified as infecting the respiratory system, has spread rapidly around the world, with adverse effects which have caused acute myocardial injury and chronic damage to the cardiovascular system in some individuals. Aim: To present a clinical case with the manifestation of COVID-19 suspected to be either a mild case of either myocarditis or pericarditis. This case highlights a relatively atypical presentation of COVID-19 and the value of a coordinated approach to the unexpected sequences of patient recovery patterns that may require further specialist referral and intervention. Findings: A ribonucleic acid (RNA) viral infection was confirmed by a polymerase chain reaction with reverse transcription (RT-PCR) and the patient was diagnosed with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The presenting symptoms failed to resolve and the patient was admitted to the accident and emergency (A&E) department. Upon the second visit to the A&E department at 27 days postinfection, an electrocardiograph (ECG) was conducted revealing T wave inversion. Implications: A coordinated approach is needed to combat the infection, develop cardiac-protective strategies and direct supportive measures.
