1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Context: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been revealed as a severe illness with a wide-ranging cardiac manifestation and has a worldwide burden on the health-care system. Aims: Our aim in this study is to assess the impact of mild COVID-19 infection on cardiac function in patients without previous structural heart disease. Settings and Design: We evaluated 100 outpatients with a history of mild COVID-19 infection without needing hospitalization within 3 weeks to 3 months after recovery from the acute phase of the illness between August 2020 and July 2021. Subjects and Methods: The patients were compared with 105 healthy participants without a history of COVID-19 as the control group. All participants underwent comprehensive transthoracic echocardiography. Statistical Analysis Used: Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS statistics 23. For all tests, Results: COVID-19 patients had higher global longitudinal strain ( Conclusions: Mild COVID-19 infection can result in cardiac functional and structural changes, even in patients without known previous structural heart disease. Echocardiography can be a useful modality for risk assessment and follow-up in patients with COVID-19.
