99mTc-Leukocyte Scintigraphy Revealed Viral Pulmonary Infection in a COVID-19 Patient.
Article in Clinical nuclear medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Tc-leukocyte scintigraphy was performed on a 40-year-old woman with spiking fevers. A focus of intense uptake in the right upper thorax was identified, concerning for infection along the central line in the superior vena cava. Additionally, heterogeneously increased uptake in both lungs was noted, which suggested pulmonary infection. CT images of the chest showed patchy ground-glass changes in both lungs and a large consolidation in the right lower lobe, which were consistent with changes for COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019). Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 RNA test was positive. This case demonstrates that leukocyte uptake in bilateral lungs could reveal viral pulmonary infection in COVID-19.
