Ophthalmia neonatorum as the presenting sign of SARS-CoV-2.
Article in Journal of AAPOS : the official publication of the American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
The most common ocular manifestation of SARS-CoV-2 in adults and children is acute conjunctivitis. We report the case of a 4-day-old infant who presented with acute-onset mucopurulent discharge of the left eye as well as subconjunctival hemorrhage and palpebral injection, without corneal findings. A diagnosis of ophthalmia neonatorum was established, for which ocular cultures and Gram staining were performed. No bacterial growth was noted, and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing for Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhea, and herpes simplex were negative. Nasopharyngeal and conjunctival SARS-CoV-2 PCR were positive. Given the identification of SARS-CoV-2 illness, lack of other underlying bacterial or viral etiology on testing, and the well-documented ability for SARS-CoV-2 to cause conjunctivitis, the clinical picture was supportive of ophthalmia neonatorum secondary to SARS-CoV-2. The infant was treated with ceftriaxone and azithromycin prior to culture results. During admission, no systemic findings of Covid-19 illness were observed.
