Electrocardiographic parameters and mortality in patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection: A single center study.
Article in Caspian journal of internal medicine, 2024. 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: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a pandemic outbreak of RNA coronaviruses (SARS-CoV-2), associated with acute respiratory distress syndrome, multiple organ failure, and death. The surface electrocardiogram is the first line assessment of cardiac electrical system. We aimed to interpret classically the electrocardiographic parameters at admission and during hospital course and association of them with prognosis in patients admitted with diagnosis of infection with SARS-CoV-2. Methods: Surface electrocardiograms (ECG) were obtained from 180 patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection at a large tertiary referral university hospital at north of Iran in Babol. The electrocardiographic waves, intervals and segments in addition to supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias were depicted. Our cohort included two groups: discharged alive and dead during the hospital course. We compared the ECG characteristics of patients who died vs. survived ones. Results: Some ECG parameters of 180 hospitalized patients were significantly associated with mortality, like heart rate (p< 0.001), bundle branch block (P= 0.035), fragmented QRS (P= 0.015), ST elevation (P= 0.004), T p-e duration (P= 0.006), premature atrial and ventricular complexes (P= 0.030, P= 0.004) and atrial fibrillation (P= 0.003). Conclusion: The SARS-CoV-2 infection had several impacts on cardiac electrical system which may monitored with a simple and easily accessible tool like ECG. This tool also helpful in the risk stratification of patients.
