Association between echocardiographic features, troponin levels, and survival time in hospitalized COVID-19 patients with cardiovascular events.
Article in Journal of anesthesia and translational medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Introduction: This study aims to explore the predictive roles of echocardiographic parameters and biomarkers in determining outcomes among hospitalized COVID-19 patients experiencing cardiovascular events. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted involving 49 COVID-19 patients who encountered cardiovascular events during hospitalization and underwent echocardiography. Our findings revealed notable associations between echocardiographic parameters and survival time. Results: A decrease in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of 10% was linked to a 20% reduction in survival time (TR: 0.80, 95% CI: 0.67 - 0.96, p = .017). Similarly, an increase in left ventricular (LV) volume by 10 mL was associated with a 9% decrease in survival time (TR: 0.91, 95% CI: 0.84 - 0.98, p = .011). Moreover, an increase in left atrial (LA) volume by 10 mL corresponded to an 8% decrease in survival time (TR: 0.92, 95% CI: 0.86 - 0.99, p = .026). Additionally, each 1 cm increase in right ventricular (RV) diameter was linked to a 22% reduction in survival time (TR: 0.78, 95% CI: 0.61 - 0.99, p = .043). Furthermore, a 10 mL increase in right atrial (RA) volume was associated with a 12% decrease in survival time (TR: 0.88, 95% CI: 0.78 - 0.98, p = .017). Notably, a tenfold rise in troponin levels was linked to a 33% decrease in survival time (TR: 0.67, 95% CI: 0.48 - 0.93, p = .014). Conclusions: Our study emphasizes the significant associations between various echocardiographic parameters and troponin levels with reduced survival time among COVID-19 patients experiencing cardiovascular events. These findings highlight the potential utility of echocardiography and troponin assessment in predicting outcomes and guiding management strategies in this patient population.
