COVID-19 as the cause of thrombosis: recognising COVID-19 infection in apparently asymptomatic patients.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
COVID-19 has serious thrombotic complications in critically ill patients; however, thrombus is not a typical presenting symptom. This case report describes a patient with no respiratory symptoms who presented to the emergency department with abdominal pain. The pain was attributed to renal thrombosis, but the patient was found to have no risk factors for thrombotic disease and subsequent hypercoagulable work-up was unremarkable. Pulmonary manifestations of COVID-19 infection were detected incidentally on the abdominal CT scan and confirmed via PCR test. The patient was isolated and went on to develop mild respiratory failure secondary to COVID-19 infection. This case suggests that unexplained thrombus in otherwise asymptomatic patients can be a direct result of COVID-19 infection, and serves as a call to action for emergency department clinicians to treat unexplained thrombotic events as evidence of COVID-19.
