Multimodal assessment of the left ventricular ejection fraction by echocardiography, cardiac computed tomography and cardiac magnetic resonance in patients after SARS-CoV2 infection.

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
Objective: The aim of the study was to compare the assessment of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) performed using echocardiography, cardiac computed tomography (CCT) and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) in patients after SARS-CoV2 infection. Material and methods: The study group consisted of 108 patients (54.17 ± 8.11 years, 52% women and 48% men) with a history of SARS-CoV-2 infection. In all patients, echocardiography, CCT and CMR examinations were performed based on the guidelines of scientific societies. In echocardiography, LVEF (LVEF Results: The mean LVEF measurement values in the study group were 59.72% ± 7.39% for LVEF Conclusion: There are statistically significant differences in left ventricular ejection fraction measurements in patients with a history of SARS-CoV-2 infection using different cardiac imaging modalities. Cardiac computed tomography overestimates LVEF compared to echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. Patients with abnormal body mass, suboptimal heart rate and reduced left ventricular systolic function are subgroups with increased variability of LVEF measurements in different cardiac imaging modalities.
