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-associated neurological manifestations are being reported with increased frequency throughout the world. In a study from China, symptoms referable to peripheral nervous system (PNS) were described in approximately 9% of hospitalized Covid-19 patients. Common PNS symptoms reported in the study were loss of taste/smell and muscle pains. With this communication, we expand the spectrum of PNS manifestations of Covid-19 infection by reporting an association of steroid responsive diffuse anterior horn cell disease with Covid-19 infection from a tertiary care centre in India. Neurological manifestations of Covid-19 are diverse, and our case which to best of my knowledge is the first case in literature to report an occurrence of steroid responsive diffuse anterior horn cell disease associated with Covid-19 infection, adds to the ever-increasing spectrum of neurological manifestations associated with this pandemic causing virus. Good response to steroid in our case serves to provide an insight into the possible pathogenesis of this manifestation and also paves the way for future therapeutic decisions related to this association.
