1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a viral illness caused by the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). There is worldwide emerging evidence of multisystem involvement including different neurological manifestations in COVID-19 patients. As a result, healthcare systems worldwide are not only experiencing diagnostic but also therapeutic and prognostic challenges with COVID-19-related complications. Cerebral microbleeds and leukoencephalopathy have been described in COVID-19 patients; although the mechanism remains unknown, possibilities include endotheliitis with thrombotic microangiopathy, excessive inflammation, prolonged respiratory failure, and hypoxemia. We describe here the clinical, radiological, and laboratory findings as well as the 90-day outcome of a 72-year-old gentleman who presented with severe SARS-CoV-2 infection, leading to diffuse cerebral microhemorrhages and ischemic infarct causing severe morbidity. He was tested positive for COVID-19 confirmed by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction.
