(A) Forest plot of hazard ratios (HRs) for high-sensitivity cardiac troponin to predict in-hospital mortality in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). (B) Funnel plot of HRs showing no publication bias. The meta-analysis was conducted using the generic inverse variance method, and pooled HR was reported with 95% confidence interval (CI). There was no significant heterogeneity observed across studies.
