Distinct Cytokine Patterns Identify Acute and Convalescent Myocardial Involvement After Coronavirus Disease 2019: A Multicohort Biomarker Study.
Article in The Journal of infectious diseases, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
We sought to identify the immunobiologic underpinnings of cardiac involvement as a postacute sequela of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) by comparing acute and convalescent populations. For the latter, an integrated analysis of cytokine levels, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, and cardiopulmonary exercise capacity was performed. Unlike acute cardiac injury, which was associated with heightened tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) but not interleukin 18 (IL-18), convalescent myocardial inflammation/edema correlated with IL-18 but not TNF-α. Thus, inflammation is not a monolith in relation to cardiac involvement in the setting of COVID-19. Instead, convalescent cardiac involvement may emerge from mechanisms distinct from acute injury, and appropriately targeted therapies may prevent postacute sequalae of COVID-19.
