Cardiac Involvement in Monkeypox Outbreak.
Review in Discoveries (Craiova, Romania). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Unusual presentations and uncommon clinical manifestations of Monkeypox (Mpox) in the current outbreak highlight the need to focus on cardiac symptoms of the virus. Owing to limited discussion regarding cardiac involvement in recent cases of Mpox, we conducted a scoping review to determine the range of existing research and provide a descriptive overview of the current literature on these manifestations. This review was conducted using a previously developed six-stage methodological approach and keeping in view the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR). Records retrieved from PubMed, ScienceDirect and Google Scholar, using a two-step search strategy, were subjected to title and abstract screening, followed by full text screening of remaining articles against specified eligibility criteria. Relevant information was extracted and summarized. Our search yielded 707 records. Following title and abstract screening, 23 articles were retrieved for full text screening. Finally, a total of nine articles were included in this review (three case series and six case reports discussing a total of 13 patients). Myocarditis was identified as the most frequently reported cardiac manifestation of Mpox. Novel clinical presentations included pharyngitis, sore throat, proctalgia, and perianal irritation. Most patients reported chest pain as the primary symptom of cardiac system involvement. Elevated troponin was the most commonly reported investigation finding followed by an elevated C- Reactive Protein. There exists a lack of high-quality studies investigating cardiac system involvement in the current outbreak of Mpox. More information is needed regarding risk factors for cardiac complications, disease progression, and cardio tropism and immunological response to improve preventive/therapeutic strategies. We highlight the paucity of relevant data and call for further discussion to improve the understanding of cardiac manifestations of Mpox. This scoping review sheds light on the underexplored cardiac manifestations of Mpox and highlights the need for heightened awareness of cardiac symptoms in the current outbreak.
