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

Despite the importance of comorbid ischemic heart disease (IHD) in the prognosis of asthma, the long-term impact of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on IHD in adults with asthma remains unclear. This study investigated the long-term effects of COVID-19 on the risk of IHD in individuals with asthma, particularly regarding COVID-19 severity. Using the Korean National Health Insurance Service claims database, we identified individuals with asthma who had recovered from COVID-19 between October 8, 2020, and December 31, 2021 (n = 8,011) and 1:1 propensity score-matched controls (n = 8,011). The incidence and risk of IHD were compared between the two groups. Overall, during a median follow-up of 95 days (interquartile range, 34-213 days; range, 1-448 days), which includes a median of 14 lag days, the COVID-19 cohort did not show a higher risk of IHD (hazard ratio [HR], 2.11; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.99-4.48) compared to matched controls. However, when the severity of COVID-19 was considered, the severe COVID-19 cohort exhibited a higher risk of IHD (HR, 4.89; 95% CI, 1.86-12.84) than matched controls; in contrast, the non-severe COVID-19 cohort showed no significantly increased risk of IHD (HR, 1.64; 95% CI, 0.73-3.70). Severe COVID-19 is associated with an increased long-term risk of IHD in adults with asthma, emphasizing the importance of cardiovascular events monitoring to improve asthma treatment outcomes in the era of COVID-19.
