The Use of Bedside Echocardiography to Diagnose Post-COVID Cardiomyopathy and Left Ventricular Thrombus in the Emergency Department.
Article in Cureus, 2023. 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
This case report chronicles a 47-year-old male with no known past medical history, who presented to the emergency department with a chief complaint of progressive dyspnea and lower extremity edema. The patient was previously healthy until he contracted COVID-19 approximately six months prior to the date of presentation. He made a full recovery two weeks later. However, in the ensuing months, he progressively declined with worsening shortness of breath and lower extremity edema. On outpatient cardiology evaluation, he was found to have cardiomegaly on chest radiograph and sinus tachycardia on electrocardiogram. He was sent to the emergency department for further evaluation. In the emergency department, bedside echocardiography revealed dilated cardiomyopathy with left ventricular thrombus. Intravenous anticoagulation and diuresis were initiated, and the patient was subsequently admitted to the cardiac intensive care unit for further evaluation and management.
