Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis in a COVID-19 pediatric patient.

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
The authors present a case of acute disseminated encephalomyelitis in a COVID-19 pediatric patient with positive SARS-CoV2 markers from a nasopharyngeal swab. A previously healthy 12-year-old-girl presented with a skin rash, headache, and fever. Five days after that, she had an acute, progressive, bilateral, and symmetrical motor weakness. She evolved to respiratory failure. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain and cervical spine showed extensive bilateral and symmetric restricted diffusion involving the subcortical and deep white matter, a focal hyperintense T2/FLAIR lesion in the splenium of the corpus callosum with restricted diffusion, and extensive cervical myelopathy involving both white and gray matter. Follow-up examinations of the brain and spine were performed 30 days after the first MRI examination. The images of the brain demonstrated mild dilatation of the lateral ventricles and widespread widening of the cerebral sulci, complete resolution of the extensive white matter restricted diffusion, and complete resolution of the restricted diffusion in the lesion of the splenium of the corpus callosum, leaving behind a small gliotic focus. The follow-up examination of the spine demonstrated nearly complete resolution of the extensive signal changes in the spinal cord, leaving behind scattered signal changes in keeping with gliosis. She evolved with partial clinical and neurological improvement and was subsequently discharged.
