Epidemiological Features and Outcomes of COVID-19 in Patients With and Without Cardiovascular Disease.
Article in Archives of Iranian medicine, 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
backgroundCardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are known as an important group of risk factor for progression of the Coronavirus-19 disease (COVID-19). The present study compared epidemiological features and outcomes in COVID-19 patients with CVDs versus those without CVDs.
methodsThis is a retrospective study performed on 1497 patients with CVDs and 26926 patients without CVDs, all of whom were confirmed to have COVID-19. All clinical signs and comorbidities were investigated in the subjects. Mann-Whitney U test and Pearson's Chi-square test were applied to compare mortality between the groups. Logistic regression was used to identify the predictors of mortality among patients.
resultsThe mean age of COVID-19 patients with underlying CVD was 60 years. Totally, about 5.3% of the individuals under study had CVD. Also, 21.6% of all deaths occurred in COVID-19 patients with CVD. Cough, fever, shortness of breath, muscle pain, and underlying diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, chronic liver and kidney disease, chronic lung disease, and immunodeficiency were significantly higher in patients with CVD than those without CVDs. The odds of death in COVID-19 patients were 1.9 times higher with underlying CVD, 2.1 times with diabetes, 3.4 times with hypertension, 1.9 times with immunodeficiency, and 2.3 times with chronic liver and kidney disease.
conclusionCVDs are a serious threat to COVID-19 patients because they increase mortality among these patients. As a result, preventive and therapeutic strategies must be developed for these vulnerable groups, who will be prone to higher mortality.
