The relation between changes in electrocardiography and disease severity in SARS-CoV2 infected patients.
Article in ARYA atherosclerosis, 2022. 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
backgroundCoronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) may lead to myocardial damage and arrhythmia. Patients with ECG changes have shown an increased risk of mortality.
objectiveWe aimed to study the changes in the electrocardiogram, which may be of great significance for risk stratification of COVID-19-positive patients.
methodA retrospective study was conducted to compare electrocardiogram changes and disease severity markers in COVID-19-positive patients admitted to a referral hospital between February 20 and March 20, 2020.
resultsOur study consisted of 201 cases, including 123 males and 78 females. Ages ranged between 16 and 97 years old. Fifty-two (25.9%) cases had a history of ICU admission. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that a low O2 saturation level (OR = 0.920, 95% CI 0.868-0.976, p=0.005), several lab tests, ECG changes (OR = 46.84, 95% CI 3.876- 566.287, P = .002) and Age (OR = 1.03, 95% CI 1.000-1.065, P = .048) were the independent risk factors for predicting mortality rate.In addition, we utilized multivariate logistic regression analysis, demonstrating that LBBB (OR = 4.601, 95% CI: 1.357-15.600, P=0.014) is the only ECG risk factor associated with morbidity in elderly patients with ECG changes.
conclusionsECG changes are strong indicators of high mortality rates in elderly COVID-19 patients. ECG interpretations should therefore be used for risk stratification and predicting the need for ICU admission.
